Outline of Presentation Federal regulations for the protection of human subjects A Brief History of the ICH Requesting GCP review by the IRB Purpose of GCP Guidance Additional requirements in GCP Guidelines
Federal Regulations The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ▪ Research of FDA regulated products ▪ Drug Research: 21 CFR 50, 54, 56 and 312 ▪ Device Research: 21 CFR 812 and 814 The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ▪ Research supported by HHS ▪ UI applies these regulations to all research, regardless of funding source ▪ 45 CFR 46, Subparts A-D
Published Guidance Help IRB’s and investigators comply with regulations Current interpretation of regs Address new study procedures The guidance is just a recommendation, but researchers MUST comply with the regulations.
Good Clinical Practice Guidelines
ICH – Brief History Representatives from Europe, Japan and the United States met in Brussels in 1990 to address: • The rising cost of health care • The escalating cost of R&D • The need to reduce delays in making safe and effective new treatments available to patients • Duplication of efforts in both animal and human trials in order to bring new drugs to market internationally.
ICH Purpose The objective of ICH is to increase international harmonisation of technical requirements to ensure that safe, effective, and high quality medicines are developed and registered in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. These activities have been undertaken to promote public health, prevent unnecessary duplication of clinical trials in humans, and minimize the use of animal testing without compromising safety and effectiveness. http: //www. ich. org/about/faqs. html
ICH Today Harmonized guidelines and recommendations in the EU, Japan, and the U. S. as well as Australia, Canada, the Nordic countries and the World Health Organization (WHO). Four categories: Safety (S) Quality (Q) Efficacy (E) Multidisciplinary Topics (M)
ICH Efficacy Guidelines http: //www. ich. org/products/guidelines/efficacy/article/efficacy-guidelines. html
Benefits of GCP Compliance Protect rights, safety and welfare of subjects Ensures that clinical trial data are credible Acceptance of clinical trial data in the EU and Japan More stringent than FDA requirements

Hawk. IRB Application This option may only be selected if the sponsor will not accept contract language that states the University of Iowa will “comply with ICH-GCP requirements as adopted by FDA. ” Regular review should be selected when contracts contain this language. If this option is selected, the Principal Investigator will be held solely responsible for ensuring all study procedures meet ICH-GCP standards. Additional standards are required under full ICH-GCP compliance. Specific information on those standards can be found here.
