back arrow Back To News

On 1 March 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced guidance for Good Clinical Practice (GCP), entitled “E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice: Integrated Addendum to E6(R1).” This guidance represents the current thinking of the FDA.

This integrated addendum guideline was collaboratively developed by the International Council for Harmonisation with input from the FDA. ICH E6(R2) “discusses approaches to clinical trial design, conduct, oversight, recording, and reporting as well as updated standards regarding electronic records and essential documents.”
