Clinical Trial Requirements

Meaning

The stringent, legally mandated criteria and procedural standards that must be met for the design, execution, data collection, analysis, and reporting of human research studies involving investigational medicinal products or devices. These requirements are established by regulatory bodies to protect the rights and safety of human subjects while ensuring the scientific validity and reliability of the data generated. They encompass elements like Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, protocol adherence, informed consent procedures, and comprehensive data integrity standards. Fulfillment of these requirements is essential for obtaining regulatory approval for a new therapeutic agent.
