Fundamentals of Clinical Trials

This Fundamentals of Clinical Trials course provides a certificate of completion. While it is a crucial prerequisite, it is not the official ICH GCP certification. We recommend completing this course first, followed by our dedicated ICH GCP training course to earn the specific official certification.

Good Clinical Practice training (GCP) focuses primarily on the ethical and quality standards for conducting trials. Our Fundamentals of Clinical Trials course offers a broader scope, covering the entire lifecycle: drug discovery, drug development and clinical trial design understanding before specializing in GCP.

GCP training is required for research teams involved in clinical trials of drugs, biologics, and devices research studies.

• ICH GCP E6 R3 Good Clinical Practice training:  is suitable to train clinical research professionals (those working in the Pharmaceutical Industry and CROs, as for example, CRAs/Monitors) that need a more comprehensive knowledge of ICH GCP. This GCP training is also ideal for people just starting or willing to start working in the Pharmaceutical industry, CROs or Clinical Sites, as it provides comprehensive and practical  knowledge of the ICH GCP Guideline.  
• ICH GCP E6 R3 Good Clinical Practice training for investigators and site personnel : is suitable to train clinical investigators and site personnel (in English and Spanish, respectively) on the fundamentals of GCP and how to apply them practically in the research setting. It is also ideal as a GCP refresher, as it meets the minimum criteria for ICH GCP Investigator Site Personnel Training identified by TransCelerate BioPharma, Inc. as necessary to enable mutual recognition of GCP training.

This will depend on the course; nevertheless, learners may complete the modules at their own pace

GCP training for Investigators will approximately take around 2.5 hours to complete, as it is mainly focused on Investigator’s responsibilities.

Full GCP course will take around 6 hours to complete. 

How long is GCP training valid? This is a recurring question. Nevertheless, there is no uniform standard regarding how frequently GCP training should occur. However,  regulatory authorities and auditors/inspectors usually require Good Clinical Practice training to be refreshed every 3 years. Please check your country’s regulations.

A quiz is also required in order to obtain the Good Clinical Practice Certification. Usually, the passing score is greater than or equal to 80%.

Although they are both vital to the development of medicine, clinical and medical research have different goals and purviews.

Any research that attempts to deepen our understanding of human health and disease is included under the broad category of medical research. Among other sorts of studies, it might include population-level research, epidemiological studies, or simple laboratory research. Identifying the underlying causes of disease, creating new diagnostic instruments, or investigating novel treatment approaches are all common goals of medical research.

Contrarily, clinical research is a branch of medical research that focuses on investigating novel medications, therapies, or interventions in human subjects. Clinical research can involve conducting clinical trials to test novel medications, medical devices, or procedures. It frequently entails conducting meticulously controlled studies to evaluate the side effects, efficacy, and safety of these interventions.

If a person is interested in investigating more general issues regarding human health and illness, such as comprehending the underlying mechanisms of a disease or determining risk factors for a specific condition, they may opt for medical research over clinical research. On the other hand, if a person is eager to test a novel intervention on humans in order to ascertain its efficacy and safety, they might opt for clinical research.

For the purpose of expanding our knowledge of human health and disease and enhancing medical treatment, both clinical and medical research are essential. Together, these complimentary methods enhance patient outcomes and progress medicine.
