A clinical trial monitor acts on behalf of the sponsor to support investigational site personnel, verify the accuracy of data recorded, and ensure that the trial is conducted in compliance with the protocol, GCP and other study specific requirements. He or she acts as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the sponsor at the investigational site and provides the main channel of communication between sponsor and investigator. This short course explores the responsibilities of the monitor and provides insight into key challenges. We discuss assessment of investigators and investigational sites, education and trial initiation, monitoring of clinical conduct, including CRF review and source document verification, and trial close-out. We discuss noncompliance and how to deal with it.

New drug development requires major investment in capital, human resources and technical expertise. Strict adherence to regulations on testing and manufacturing standards is also required before a new drug can be marketed. One of the greatest challenges in conducting clinical trials is that of efficiency. As trials become more comprehensive, involving large numbers of participants globally, their duration is prolonged and costs increase. The longer trials last, the shorter is the patent life remaining after market approval and the longer patients must wait for the new product. This short course covers the key components of clinical trials and how these requirements interact with the drug development cycle.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is a set of internationally recognised ethical and scientific quality requirements for designing, conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials. Compliance with GCP principles is required by regulatory authorities in many countries for the authorisation of clinical trials and the acceptance of their data in applications for marketing approval. The International Council for Harmonisation's guideline E6, often referred to as ICH GCP, is the international standard specification for Good Clinical Practice. In this short course we describe the ICH’s role in the harmonisation of regulations, introduce its guideline E6, and set out the principles of GCP.

A clinical investigator is responsible for conducting the clinical trial in compliance with the study protocol, GCP, medical ethics, and applicable legal requirements. The clinical research community expects that investigators and clinical staff are fully trained in GCP. Duties and functions discussed in this short course include: provision of adequate resources; liaison with IRB/IEC; compliance with protocol; management of investigational product(s), informed consent and data records; and safety reporting.

Capture and management of clinical trial data is a challenge. The industry is under pressure to obtain and analyse such data more quickly, while maintaining data integrity, so that products can be brought to market sooner. Effective planning and adequate resources can ensure clinical trials yield high quality data within strict timelines and budget requirements, at the same time satisfying regulatory standards. This short course describes the purpose of data capture and explores efficiencies in data management as part of the evolving regulatory landscape.
