On June 3rd, 2026, the International Council of Harmonisation’s final ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) E6(R3) Annex 2 was adopted in step 4 of the ICH formal procedure. A reminder of ICH’s standardized five-step formal procedure of developing, adopting, and implementing of guidelines can be reviewed.

On March 9th, 2026, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a draft guidance “Responding to FDA Form 483 Observations at the Conclusion of a Drug CGMP Inspection”. The guidance is intended to assist drug manufacturers of FDA regulated drugs or combination products who choose to respond to an FDA Form 483 Inspectional Observations (483).

In March 2026, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the fourth edition of ISO 14155:2026, replacing the previous edition from 2020. This is the medical device global reference for GCP conduct that many regulatory authorities recognize. Clinical Pathways offers an ISO 14155 Comparison Tool to support you to do an impact analysis and plan updates to SOPs, templates and tools for your trials.

The US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) collaborated with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to develop 10 Guiding Principles of Good AI Practice in Drug Development. They are intended to be a foundational basis for developing good practices with AI, addressing the unique nature of AI, as well as cultivating its future growth.

In addition to the launch of Elsa, in a press announcement on December 1, 2025, the FDA broadcasted the deployment of Agentic AI capabilities for their employees. Agentic AI is unique from LLM AI due to its capability to plan, reason, and execute multi-step actions in order to achieve a specific goal. This means it can be used to assist with more complex tasks.

**UPDATED EFFECTIVE DATE** The research landscape has changed over the course of the last several decades to accommodate increased complexity along with broader population samples for the assessment of new therapeutic interventions causing a new set of human subject protection challenges. Time and cost of clinical trials are always a pain point in the industry and many initiatives have been launched to address it. Here in the US research funding plays a major role in IRB selection since most institutions insist on using a local IRB for non-industry-sponsored research even as the FDA and OHRP have encouraged the use of central IRBs.
Our own SAM Sather will be in the ACRP's Northern California chapter for a discussion of the guideline updates, impact assessment, and a scalable approach to implementation of ICH-GCP E6 R2. For more information click here.
Since March 29th 2017 when the United Kingdom (UK) notified the European Council of its intention to withdraw from the European Union (EU), the clinical research industry has been wondering about the implications of this unprecedented withdrawal particularly since the European Commission and EMA believe that the UK will no longer participate in the EMA’s work after March 30th of 2019.
