Week 2 Flashcards
ICH-GCP
International Conference of Harmonization fo Good Clinical Practice Guidelines
Leaders in the clinical research industry from around the world come together to agree on best practices and patient safety in clinical trial
IRB
Enforces ICH-GCP guidelines and protecting the rights and welfare of human research subjects in their assigned study
Inclusion Criteria
characteristics that the prospective subjects must have if they are to be included in the study
Exclusion Criteria
those characteristics that disqualify prospective subjects from participating in the study
Subject Screening
Informal Consent Process
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria review for potential enrollment
Screening Failure
If a potential subject declines to sign the Informed Consent Form
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria are not met
When should the site report to the IRB?
Anytime there has been an occurrence that risks the safety of human subjects and/or there are unexpected results on the subject from the clinical trial
Protocol Violation
a deviation from the IRB approved protocol that may
- reduce the completeness, accuracy and reliability of study data
- Contradict or invalidate the Informed Consent
- Impact the subject’s safety, rights or well-being
Protocol Deviation
a deviation from the IRB approved protocol that:
- Has no significant consequence to the subject or protocol integrity and is considered minor
- A frequently accepted delineation is that a deviation does not expose the subject to increased risk, whereas a violation does
Source Documents
Records about each subject that will hold all trial related data about the subject and all trial related interactions ever had with the subject
-source documents are most important
How to Handle Protocol Deviation
- Query the site for more information via email or inside of the EDC to confirm the deviation
- Notify the site in writing
- Notify your study lead or study team by documenting as an observation in CTMS( and document in MVR)
- Train site staff on proper study procedure according to protocol
- Report to the IRB (if necessary)
