DrugDev and SCRS Present Educational Webinar on How to Develop an Efficient and Compliant Clinical Trial Start-Up Process

Part of SCRS Good Clinical Practice (GCP) series, August 15 webinar features DrugDev experts in ensuring smooth, efficient startup for sponsors and sites

Philadelphia, PA and London, UK DrugDev and the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) will host a new educational webinar to demonstrate how Good Clinical Practice (GCP) can be used throughout the site activation process with an emphasis on feasibility, contracts, and site documents. In addition, the webinar will discuss the importance of GCP compliance, how sites are affected by GCP during selection and activation, and common site mistakes that can be avoided.

In 1997 the FDA ratified 13 laws for establishing GCP during clinical trials, endorsing ethics practices that had been evolving since the Nuremberg Code in 1947. As a result, GCP has been the standard guide for conducting clinical trials for sponsors, sites, and investigators ever since.
