Frequently Asked Questions
GCP is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for the design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analyses, and reporting of clinical trials. GCP provides assurance that the data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity, and confidentiality of trial subjects are respected and protected.
Those who conduct the studies are required to comply with applicable laws and regulations intended to ensure the integrity of clinical data on which product approvals are based. This helps to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects.
Clinical trials of drugs and medical devices go through four phases to determine safety, effectiveness, and side effects:
- Phase 1 tests a drug or device on around 20 to 80 people.
- Phase 2 tests a drug or device on around 100 to 300 people. This phase determines whether the drug or device works on people who have a certain disease or condition.
- Phase 3 gathers information from several hundred to a few thousand people in different populations about safety and effectiveness.
- Phase 4 takes place after the FDA approves the drug or device.
A Clinical Quality Management System (CQMS) applies industry best practices to clinical processes from research through study management. It creates a framework to deliver the right outcome, mitigate and manage risk, and continually improve the process. CQMS optimization helps reduce startup time, manage study risk, and safely store results.
Automation to minimize manual testing, data collaboration platforms to facilitate communication, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enable real-time device diagnostics and data sharing are examples of technology trends in life sciences.
