Study Notes
GLP Principles
- Provides a framework for laboratory studies to be planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported, and archived
- Governs nonclinical studies conducted to evaluate the safety or efficacy of chemicals (including pharmaceuticals)
GLP Objectives
- Ensures regulatory authorities that the data submitted is accurate
- Ensures that the data submitted is an accurate representation of the study's findings
- Ensures that data can be traced
- Promotes test acceptance on a global scale
GLP Components
- Archiving of records
- Apparatus, material, and reagent facilities
- Quality assurance programs
- Performance of the study
- Reporting of study results
- Standard operating procedures (SOP)
GLP Principles
- GLP provides a framework for laboratory studies, including planning, performance, monitoring, recording, reporting, and archiving
- GLP governs nonclinical studies evaluating the safety or efficacy of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals
- GLP ensures data accuracy and traceability, promoting global test acceptance
Mission of GLP
- Archiving of records
- Apparatus, material, and reagent facilities quality assurance programs
- Performance of the study
- Reporting of study results
- Standard operating procedures (SOP)
Organization and Personnel
- Each individual involved in nonclinical laboratory studies must have necessary education, training, and experience
- Each testing facility must keep a current summary of training and experience, as well as a job description, for each person involved or supervising the study
Quality Assurance Unit
- A testing facility must have a quality assurance unit that monitors each study to ensure compliance with regulations
- The unit ensures facilities, equipment, personnel, methods, practices, records, and controls are in accordance with regulations
Facilities
- Each testing facility must be of suitable size and construction to facilitate proper conduct of nonclinical laboratory studies
- The facility must be designed to prevent any function or activity from having an adverse effect on the study
- Required facilities include:
- Animal care facilities
- Animal supply facilities
- Facilities for handling test and control articles
- Laboratory operation areas
- Specimen and data storage facilities
Equipment
- Equipment design must be appropriate and of adequate capacity
- Equipment maintenance and calibration require:
- Written standard operating procedures
- Written records
- A log book
- Ensuring equipment is fit for use
