GCP Qualification Audits Choosing Quality Contractors and Sites
“Contractors are to be considered an extension of your company,” Michelle Sceppa — a GCP consultant with more than 25 years of experience in quality assurance and regulatory compliance — tells sponsors. “The regulatory requirements that apply to your company and products must apply to them as well.”
There are a lot of moving parts to a clinical trial — CROs, sites, laboratories — and all of them are subject to the FDA’s Good Clinical Practices standards. But only the trial sponsor bears full responsibility for GCP compliance.
In GCP Qualification Audits, Ms. Sceppa lays out her approach to evaluating and selecting the best, most compliant and highest quality contractors to give your trial the best shot at success.
The report begins by outlining the regulatory requirements for qualifying contractors. And follows up with instructions for auditing the three main players — CROs, clinical sites and central testing labs. The report also explains how to apply risk management principles to selecting contractors.
