Good Clinical Practices

International Conference on Harmonization (ICH)’s Good Clinical Practices (GCP) is an ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting and recording trials that involve the participation of human subjects. Good Clinical Practice Guidelines include standards on how clinical trials should be conducted, define the roles and responsibilities of clinical trial sponsors, clinical research investigators, and monitors. Compliance with this standard provides assurance to public that the rights, safety and well being of trial subjects are protected and ensures that clinical trial data are credible. It also provides assurance of the safety and efficacy of the newly developed compounds.
