The Essential GCP Document Read the SMALL PRINTof the 1572
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) • A standard for the design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analyses, and reporting of clinical trials that provides assurance that • the Data and Reported Results are Credible, and Accurate, • and that • the Rights, Integrity, and Confidentiality of Trial Subjects are Protected. = Quality Data = Ethics Quality Data + Ethics = GCP
Obligations of Investigators Video A “GCP Day” in the life of a clinical researcher
GCPs: Discussion • What “ethics” process was shown in the video? • the Rights, Integrity, and Confidentiality of Trial Subjects are Protected. • What “data quality” concepts were shown? • the Data and Reported Results are Credible, and Accurate
Form FDA 1572: It’s the Law! • 21 Code of Federal Regulations 312.53 (c) (1) • Before permitting an investigator to begin participation in an investigation, the sponsor shall obtain the following: • A signed investigator statement (Form FDA-1572)

FDA Warning Letters (WL) • A post FDA inspection document • An informal advisory to a firm communicating FDA's position on a matter but does not commit FDA to taking enforcement action • http://www.fda.gov/oc/gcp/clinenforce.html
WL (5 Jun 02): Hassman, MD • The investigator agreement you signed requires you to personally conduct or supervise the clinical investigation (see FDA Form 1572). • FDA’s investigation revealed that you failed to adequately supervise those aspects of clinical investigations which you did not personally conduct. As described in more detail …, this lack of supervision resulted in submission of false information to the sponsor and failure to maintain adequate and accurate case histories.
WL(17 Apr 02): Yu, MD, PhD • “You failed to obtain a signed investigator statement, Form FDA 1572 • from all investigators prior to permitting them to begin participation in the investigation.” • “You failed to provide a complete list of the sub-investigators • who assisted you in the conduct of the investigation.”
