Good Clinical Practice (GCP)

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific standard established to ensure the quality and integrity of clinical trials. This comprehensive framework encompasses the design, conduct, performance, monitoring, auditing, recording, analysis, and reporting of clinical studies. GCP guidelines are aimed at safeguarding the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants while ensuring the reliability and validity of trial results. Adhering to GCP helps maintain consistency and transparency throughout the clinical research process, thereby facilitating the generation of credible data that can be used for regulatory approvals and scientific advancement. The principles of GCP are essential for fostering ethical research practices and upholding high standards of scientific rigor in clinical trials.
