The New ICH GCP E6 R2 Addendum Course (London, United Kingdom - September 25th, 2018) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "The New ICH GCP E6 R2 Addendum" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The ICH GCP E6 revision 2 Addendum came into effect in Europe on 14 June 2017, and it is important to all involved in clinical research to understand and have implemented these changes to ensure regulatory compliance. The updated guideline includes a number of 'hot' Good Clinical Practice inspection topics, which are also covered in a number of other EU and FDA guidelines and documents, and a further major revision is also being planned.

This course will cover these new requirements, evaluate the changes and discuss how these should have been implemented by sponsors, CROs and study sites. This will enable you to meet the new international ICH GCP E6 revision 2 Addendum standard to ensure the clinical trial data required by the regulatory authorities internationally, including the EU, Japan, the United States and Switzerland are met.
