A must-have guide for any professional in the drug manufacturing
industry

The Good Clinical Practice (GCP) audit is a tedious but
necessary exercise that assures that all parties do their job
properly and in compliance with the applicable FDA code.
Clinical Trials Audit Preparation demystifies the audit
process for all parties involved, including clinical research
sponsors, clinical investigators, and institutional review
boards.

This book provides a step-by-step explanation of the FDA audit
procedures for clinical trials and of how pharmaceutical companies,
clinical investigators, and institutional review boards should
prepare for regulatory audits. The book emphasizes the processes
and procedures that should be implemented before a clinical audit
occurs, making this an imperative guide to any professional in the
drug manufacturing industry, including drug manufacturing
companies, regulatory affairs personnel, clinical investigators,
and quality assurance professionals.

Among the topics discussed:

* Good Clinical Practices and therapeutic product development in
clinical research

* The roles of the sponsor of a clinical investigation, the IRB,
or independent ethics committee

* The roles and responsibilities of the clinical trial
investigator

* The inspection preparation

* The Audit Report and the Form 483

* Warning letters issued to clinical investigators and clinical
trial sponsors and their impact on product development
