Clinical Audits
Auditing is a valuable tool to get an overview of the performance and quality processes of your clinical trial site to ensure data quality and inspection readiness. Collaboration and delegation of tasks between the sponsor and the clinical site is common in clinical trials. However, as a sponsor, you have a duty to stay on top of things and take responsibility for regulatory compliance, ethical behaviour and the quality and integrity of your clinical data.
Clinical audits are performed to assess a clinical site’s qualifications and capabilities to manage a Clinical Investigation Trial in compliance with EN ISO 14155 and all applicable national international regulations and guidelines.
Clinical audits are also performed to evaluate compliance with the study protocol / clinical investigation plan and the study procedures according to the current national and international regulations and guidelines.
A clinical audit can cover all or some of the involved parties, systems and facilities and is performed independently.
Reasons for Clinical Audits
Audits can be requested and conducted for different reasons:
- As a routine part of the sponsor’s quality assurance program
- To assess the quality of study data
- In case of serious or repeated protocol deviations
- In case of suspicion of fraud and misconduct
- In preparation for inspections at sites and sponsor
- When requested or suggested by regulatory authorities
