Regulatory Compliance in UK Laboratories Processing Clinical Trial Samples: Guidance from Regulators
(Spaces available: 46)
Wednesday 29 September 2010 15:00
to 17:00
This webinar will provide a rare opportunity to discuss your queries of Laboratory Compliance directly with Andrew Gray, Head of the United Kingdom Good Laboratory Monitoring Authority within the UK Regulatory Inspectorate Group of the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Product’s Regulatory Agency).
Andrew will review the MHRA’s Good Clinical Practice document, "Guidance on the Maintenance of Regulatory Compliance in Laboratories That Perform the Analysis and Evaluation of Clinical Trial Samples," released in June 2009. The primary aim of the presentation will be to provide detailed information on the MHRA's expectations when inspecting laboratories.
The webinar will cover a range of key issues, such as sample shipping and receipt, the organisation and conduct of laboratory analysis, subject confidentiality, blinding and unbinding of clinical samples, expedited reporting of data, and lines of communication between the laboratory and the sponsor or clinical investigators. The webinar will also detail the inspection process with the aim of providing some insight into the inspectors’ expectations. Finally, the presentation will explore some common deficiencies which have been highlighted over the last two inspection cycles.
The 90 minute webinar will be followed by a local discussion on the issues raised.
Please note as this is an ACRP event we are not able to offer webstreaming or video conferencing, attendance is in person only
