BIG Keeps GCP Knowledge Current with ECCRT’s Tailored ICH-GCP E6 (R3) Refresher Training
BIG partnered with ECCRT to refresh its team’s GCP knowledge, aligning with the latest ICH-GCP E6(R3) guidance. When some participants were unable to attend the live session, ECCRT seamlessly provided its GCP eLearning alternative—demonstrating flexibility and dedication to training access.
About BIG
The Breast International Group (BIG) is the largest global network entirely focused on academic breast cancer research. Based in Brussels, BIG has led international collaboration for over 25 years, conducting pivotal clinical trials that have shaped treatment paradigms and advanced the global understanding of breast cancer. BIG’s mission is to improve the lives of women and men with breast cancer through research-driven innovation and collaboration.
Challenges and Objectives
BIG’s team of clinical research professionals needed a focused refresher on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) in line with the updated ICH-GCP E6(R3) guidelines. Given their role in coordinating complex international trials, it was vital that their staff clearly understood the new principles, particularly those related to participant protection, informed consent, and data integrity.
Their objective was to ensure their teams were aligned on the latest regulatory expectations efficiently, comprehensively, and with minimal disruption to ongoing research activities.
How ECCRT Helped
ECCRT designed and delivered a tailored half-day classroom session on ICH-GCP E6(R3) Refresher Training at BIG’s offices in Brussels. The session, led by expert trainer Lieve Vrints, was structured to maximize impact through interactivity and practical application.
The programme focused on:
- The evolution from E6(R2) to (R3)
- Enhancements in informed consent and participant safety
- Updates in quality management and risk-based monitoring
- Strategies for real-world integration of the new GCP requirements
Understanding that not all team members could attend the live training, ECCRT provided immediate access to its GCP eLearning module ensuring all staff could benefit from the training content regardless of availability. This hybrid approach demonstrated ECCRT’s agility in meeting client needs.
Results
BIG’s clinical operations team completed the training with a stronger grasp of the GCP R3 updates and greater confidence in applying them to ongoing and future trials. By supplementing the classroom session with GCP eLearning, ECCRT ensured 100% of the intended learners had access to the material and no one was left behind.
The feedback from participants highlighted the value of ECCRT’s concise yet comprehensive delivery and the reassurance of always having a flexible training partner ready to adapt to their operational realities.
