Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is a term used to describe a collection of various FDA regulations that govern the conduct of clinical trials. It includes regulations which apply to Sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) who run the trials, the clinical trial sites and Investigators who conduct the research, the Institutional Review Boards ("IRBs" or Ethics Committees) who oversee the conduct of the trials, and includes other aspects such as avoidance of financial conflict of interest on the part of clinical investigators. The FDA conducts inspections at all of these levels to determine if there has been compliance with GCP, and if not, the agency may take any of a variety of enforcement actions

This seminar provides an introduction to GCP, with emphasis on the regulations governing drug and biologic clinical trials. (Most of the information is also applicable to medical devices, but specific requirements for device trials are not discussed.) It also covers the essential elements of FDA inspections of Sponsors and CROs, clinical trial sites, and IRBs, provides guidance for how to effectively prepare for and manage these inspections, and how to communicate effectively with the FDA about inspection outcomes.

Since many companies operate clinical trials in a variety of world-wide venues, the course provides an introduction to key guidelines for GCP from the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), which are used by multiple health regulatory authorities as definitive guidance for GCP compliance. The primary emphasis, however, is placed on FDA requirements.
