    Study Notes

    Good Clinical Practice (GCP)

    • Serves as a standard for the entire clinical trial process: design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analysis, and reporting.
    • Ensures credibility and accuracy of data, while protecting the rights, integrity, and confidentiality of trial subjects.

    Independent Data-Monitoring Committee (IDMC)

    • An independent group established by the sponsor to evaluate clinical trial progress, safety data, and efficacy endpoints.
    • Recommends whether to continue, modify, or halt the trial based on findings.

    Impartial Witness

    • An independent individual who witnesses the informed consent process, ensuring no undue influence from trial personnel.
    • Reads the informed consent form if the subject or their representative cannot read it.

    Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)

    • Comprised of medical and non-medical members to review and approve trial protocols and investigator qualifications.
    • Ensures the protection of human subjects’ rights, safety, and well-being, providing public assurance.
