Good Clinical Practice

Meaning

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an internationally recognized ethical and scientific quality standard that governs the meticulous design, conduct, recording, and reporting of clinical trials involving human participants. Adherence to GCP is mandatory to ensure that all generated data and reported results are scientifically credible and accurate, and, most importantly, that the fundamental rights, integrity, and confidentiality of the trial subjects are rigorously protected. This standard provides the essential, comprehensive framework for the ethical and high-quality execution of all clinical research globally.
