According to the ICH GCP Guideline, which of the following is responsible for implementing procedures to ensure the integrity of the clinical trial-related duties??
-
Option A:Correct

-
Option B:Correct
The investigator/institution
-

Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The investigator/institution bears responsibility for site conduct, oversight of delegated tasks, and ensuring qualified, trained staff—regardless of employment source. Exact extracts: ICH E6(R2) 4.1.1: “The investigator should be qualified… and have adequate resources to properly conduct the trial.” ICH E6(R2) 4.1.5: “The investigator should ensure that all persons assisting with the trial are adequately informed about the protocol, the investigational product(s), and their trial-related duties and functions.” ICH E6(R2) 4.2.5: “The investigator may delegate… but retains responsibility for the conduct of the trial at the site.” Therefore, the investigator/institution (B) must implement procedures and oversight to maintain integrity of trial duties. Reference: ICH E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice, §4.1.1; §4.1.5; §4.2.5 (Investigator responsibilities; delegation and oversight).

Question 2
Single answerDuring an internal compliance review, the site study team identified that a protocol-required blood sample collection was not obtained for a majority of the subjects enrolled. In accordance with the ICH GCP Guideline, the clinical investigator should:
-
Option A:Correct
Suspend all trial-related activities until the events of the deviation have been mitigated
-
Option B:Correct
Document and explain the deviation from the protocol
-
Option C:Correct
Assign another investigator to perform sample collections until an internal investigation is completed
-
Option D:Correct
Immediately report the observation to the regulatory authority
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
ICH directs investigators to document and explain any deviation, with prompt reporting to IRB/IEC only when deviations are implemented to eliminate immediate hazards or as required. Exact extracts: ICH E6(R2) 4.5.3: “The investigator should document and explain any deviation from the approved protocol.” ICH E6(R2) 3.3.7 & 4.5.2 (paraphrased): deviations to eliminate immediate hazards must be reported as soon as possible. Here, absent immediate hazard, the required action is documentation and explanation (B). Reference: ICH E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice, §4.5.3 (Compliance with protocol; deviations). ICH E6(R2) §3.3.7; §4.5.2 (Reporting deviations implemented to eliminate immediate hazards).

Question 3
Single answerIn accordance with the ICH GCP Guideline, when a sponsor transfers trial-related duties and functions to a contract research organization (CRO), who is ultimately responsible for the quality and integrity of the trial data?
-
Option A:Correct
The investigator
-
Option B:Correct
The IRB/IEC
-
Option C:Correct
The CRO
-
Option D:Correct
The sponsor
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Outsourcing does not shift ultimate responsibility away from the sponsor. Exact extract: ICH E6(R2) 5.2.1: “A sponsor may transfer any or all of the sponsor’s trial-related duties… to a CRO, but the ultimate responsibility for the quality and integrity of the trial data always resides with the sponsor.” Hence, D is correct. Reference: ICH E6(R2) Good Clinical Practice, §5.2.1 (Sponsor/CRO).

Question 4
Single answerA subject currently on a clinical trial was hospitalized for 2 days due to a SAE. The subject reported the hospitalization to the investigator at the next study visit. According to the ICH GCP Guideline, when should the investigator report the SAE to the sponsor?
-
Option A:Correct
Immediately
-
Option B:Correct
Within 7 working days
-
Option C:Correct
Within 10 working days
-
Option D:Correct
Within 15 working days
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
ICH requires immediate reporting of all SAEs to the sponsor (except those protocol-identified as not requiring immediate reporting). Exact extract: ICH E6(R2) 4.11.1: “The investigator should report all serious adverse events immediately to the sponsor except for those SAEs that the protocol… identifies as not needing immediate reporting.” Therefore, “Immediately” (A) is correct. The other timeframes are not aligned with ICH GCP for initial SAE notification from investigator to sponsor.
