⑩FDA:新冠流行期间用于评价药物临床试验质量管理规范的替代工具
FDA Reviews Alternative Tools Used to Evaluate GCP during the COVID-19 Pandemic
FDA发表一项研究,标题为:FDA在新冠流行期间评价药物临床试验质量管理规范的创新性替代工具。新冠流行限制了FDA进行GCP现场核查;本文介绍了在此背景下CDER-OSI办公室使用其它工具来评价关键性II/III期临床试验数据完整性的经验,分析了新冠流行对GCP现场核查的影响,并讨论了这些替代工具的贡献以及对未来的影响。
A recent study was published by staff at the FDA titled: The United States Food and Drug Administration's Innovative Alternative Tools to Evaluate Good Clinical Practice During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. The COVID-19 public health emergency limited the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ability to conduct on-site good clinical practice (GCP) inspections. In this paper, they present their experience in using alternative tools to evaluate data integrity for pivotal Phase II/III clinical trials supporting marketing applications during the COVID-19 public health emergency in the Office of Scientific Investigations (OSI) in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). In addition, they analyze the impact of the pandemic on on-site GCP inspections and discuss the contribution of alternative tools to GCP activities and the implications for the future.

The authors believe the study shows that the remote evaluation of clinical trials from FDA locations was useful in evaluating CI and sponsor/CRO data integrity, subject safety, and clinical trial conduct.
· 未来,这些替代工具可作为GCP现场核查的补充,尤其在出行受限时。还可以考虑使用这些工具扩大核查覆盖范围。
Looking forward, alternative tools can be complementary to on-site GCP inspections, particularly when travel limitations exist. In addition, these tools could be considered to expand the breadth of the inspection coverage.
