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.
