    p.000060: d) To preserve the independence and value of the audit function, the regulatory authority(ies) should not routinely
    p.000060: request the audit reports. Regulatory authority(ies) may seek access to an audit report on a case by case basis when

    p.000060: and monitor with the standards of Good Clinical Practice and with all applicable regulatory requirements.
    p.000060: Essential Documents also serve a number of other important purposes. Filing essential documents at the
    p.000060: investigator/institution and sponsor sites in a timely manner can greatly assist in the successful management of a
    p.000060: trial by the investigator, sponsor and monitor. These documents are also the ones which are usually audited by the
    p.000060: sponsor's independent audit function and inspected by the regulatory authority(ies) as part of the process to confirm
    p.000060: the validity of the trial conduct and the integrity of data collected.

    p.000060: Trial master files should be established at the beginning of the trial, both at the investigator/institution’s site and

    p.000060: investigator/institution and sponsor files and confirmed that all necessary documents are in the appropriate files.
    p.000060: Any or all of the documents addressed in this guideline may be subject to, and should be available for, audit by the
    p.000060: sponsor’s auditor and inspection by the regulatory authority(ies).
    p.000060: ADDENDUM
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor and investigator/institution should maintain a record of the location(s) of their respective essential
    p.000060: documents including source documents. The storage system used during the trial and for archiving (irrespective of the
    p.000060: type of media used) should provide for document identification, version history, search, and retrieval.

    p.000060: dose(s) may not be established: all noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should
    p.000060: be considered adverse drug reactions. The phrase responses to a medicinal product means that a causal relationship
    p.000060: between a medicinal product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility, i.e. the relationship cannot be
    p.000060: ruled out.
    p.000060: Regarding marketed medicinal products: a response to a drug which is noxious and unintended and which occurs at doses

    p.000060: This understanding should be based on the available physical, chemical, pharmaceutical, pharmacological, toxicological,

    p.000060: 5.0.4. Risk control
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor should decide which risks to reduce and/or which risks to accept. The approach used to reduce risk to an
    p.000060: acceptable level should be proportionate to the significance of the risk. Risk reduction activities may be incorporated
    p.000060: in protocol design and implementation, monitoring plans, agreements between parties defining roles and
    p.000060: responsibilities, systematic safeguards to ensure adherence to standard operating procedures, and training in processes
    p.000060: and procedures.
    p.000060: Predefined quality tolerance limits should be established, taking into consideration the medical and statistical
    p.000060: characteristics of the variables as well as the statistical design of the trial, to identify systematic issues that can
    p.000060: impact subject safety or reliability of trial results. Detection of deviations from the predefined quality tolerance
    p.000060: limits should trigger an evaluation to determine if action is needed.
    p.000060:
    p.000060: 5.0.5. Risk communication
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor should document quality management activities. The sponsor should communicate quality management activities
    p.000060: to those who are involved in or affected by such activities, to facilitate risk review and continual improvement during
    p.000060: clinical trial execution.
    p.000060:
    p.000060: 5.0.6. Risk review
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor should periodically review risk control measures to ascertain whether the implemented quality management
    p.000060: activities remain effective and relevant, taking into account emerging knowledge and experience.
    p.000060:
    p.000060: 5.0.7. Risk reporting
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor should describe the quality management approach implemented in the trial and summarize important deviations
    p.000060: from the predefined quality tolerance limits and remedial actions taken in the clinical study report (ICH E3, Section

    p.000060: When using electronic trial data handling and/or remote electronic trial data systems, the sponsor should:
    p.000060: a) Ensure and document that the electronic data processing system(s) conforms to the sponsor’s established
    p.000060: requirements for completeness, accuracy, reliability, and consistent intended performance (i.e. validation).
    p.000060: ADDENDUM
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor should base their approach to validation of such systems on a risk assessment that takes into consideration

    p.000060: trial results.

    p.000060: determine that central monitoring in conjunction with procedures such as investigators’ training and meetings, and
    p.000060: extensive written guidance can assure appropriate conduct of the trial in accordance with GCP. Statistically controlled
    p.000060: sampling may be an acceptable method for selecting the data to be verified.
    p.000060: ADDENDUM
    p.000060:
    p.000060: The sponsor should develop a systematic, prioritized, risk-based approach to monitoring clinical trials. The
    p.000060: flexibility in the extent and nature of monitoring described in this section is intended to permit varied approaches
    p.000060: that improve the effectiveness and efficiency of monitoring. The sponsor may choose on-site monitoring, a combination
    p.000060: of on-site and centralized monitoring, or, where justified, centralized monitoring. The sponsor should document the
    p.000060: rationale for the chosen monitoring strategy (e.g., in the monitoring plan).

    p.000060: for, and their compliance with, many key features of the protocol, such as the dose, dose frequency/interval, methods
    p.000060: of administration: and safety monitoring procedures. The IB also provides insight to support the clinical management of
    p.000060: the study subjects during the course of the clinical trial. The information should be presented in a concise, simple,
    p.000060: objective, balanced, and non-promotional form that enables a clinician, or potential investigator, to understand it and
    p.000060: make his/her own unbiased risk-benefit assessment of the appropriateness of the proposed trial. For this reason, a
    p.000060: medically qualified person should generally participate in the editing of an IB, but the contents of the IB should be
    p.000060: approved by the disciplines that generated the described data.
    p.000060: This guideline delineates the minimum information that should be included in an IB and provides suggestions for its
    p.000060: layout. It is expected that the type and extent of information available will vary with the stage of development of the
