About this course.
Course Description
This course covers all the ICH-GCP in its current version (R3) and will cover the responsibilities of every stakeholder involved, as well as its implementation in practice.
Without training on the ICH-GCP requirements, or without experience in clinical research, professionals are not always aware of the legal regulations that govern clinical studies, including post-marketing trials. ICH-GCP is the guideline ruling all clinical research including its conduct, performance, monitoring and reporting of the results. This course focuses on the requirements of GCP in clinical studies with pharmaceuticals.
During the course, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the entire ICH GCP E6 (R3) guideline, focusing on both foundational principles and recent updates. You will learn how to effectively implement risk-based strategies in clinical trials, enhancing efficiency and compliance while maintaining participant safety. The course also delves into quality management principles, emphasizing the importance of data integrity and governance in today’s digital landscape.
This training is ideal for all clinical research professionals who are committed to maintaining compliance and excellence in their work. By the end of the course, you will be well-prepared to navigate regulatory requirements confidently and implement effective strategies that improve trial outcomes.
