Trial monitoring
Monitoring constitutes a key element of quality assurance, helping to ensure transparency and reliability of data obtained in clinical trials. In accordance with Good Clinical Practice principles described by ICH-GCP, constant monitoring is recommended before, during and after clinical performance evaluation.
A clinical trial should be conducted based on the previously drafted trial protocol, and any data obtained must be thoroughly documented. Moreover, trial data must be analysed and reported according to the trial design. What is particularly important is for the ethical aspects of the trial to be in line with the applicable legal provisions. Trial monitoring covers the scope of planned, systematic activities that are to ensure transparency in conducting clinical trials, data reliability and protection of the subjects’ rights.
