Now Available for Purchase: Overview of ICH E8(R1): General Considerations for Clinical Studies Guideline

02/22/2022

-

ICH E8(R1) is the umbrella guideline that maps to all the ICH “E” family, including ICH E6(R3), Good Clinical Practice. The revision modernizes clinical trial design, planning, management, conduct, and reporting and introduces the idea of quality as data being fit for purpose, which is ensuring the protection of study participants, the integrity of the data and reliability of the results, and the ability of the trials to meet their objectives. The key purpose is to design quality into clinical trials, which is supported by the establishment of an appropriate framework for the identification and review of Critical to Quality factors at the time of design and planning of the study, and throughout its conduct, analysis, and reporting.

The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) released draft ICH E6(R3) Principles. ICH E6 Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guideline is the blueprint for clinical trials ensuring subject safety and data quality and it specifies the processes needed for study conduct and documentation to comply with the guideline and regulatory requirements. The last revision occurred in 2016. Since then, clinical trials are increasingly complex and in electronic formats, requiring updates to the GCP guideline to ensure its agility to meet the challenges of modern clinical trials.

Change is coming again. Expected updates to ICH GCP E6(R2) and ICH E8 support the agility and adaptability we need to reach the levels of study design, management, and conduct closest to the data and subjects. Taking these theoretical concepts into flexible, reliable, and accountable practices is the next step in more effective trials.

ICH Releases E8 “General Considerations for Clinical Trials” Draft Revision for Public Comment

6/11/2019

-

Clinical trials have become increasingly complex since the ICH E8 guideline on “General Considerations for Clinical Trials” was finalized in 1997. The draft revision is in Step 2b and available for public comment, and there are some interesting changes to note. Specifically, there is a greater emphasis on patient centricity, design of trials with quality in mind, and risk management. The overlying theme is fit-for-purpose quality as an essential consideration for study design. The revision is part of the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Renovation initiative. Previously, the ICH E6 GCP R2 addendum was finalized in 2016.
