In November 2016, the first revision of the ICH GCP guidelines in 20 years were finalized and ICH E6 (R2) was published. This addendum contained 26 changes, 16 of which apply specifically to sponsors.

 

Important requirements based on changes within ICH E6 (R2):

  • Use data and pre-established tolerance limits for decision making
  • Execute routine risk reviews
  • Minimize risk through planning; early signaling and mitigation of problems
  • Provide oversight commensurate with risks that matter
  • Complete end of trial report on effectiveness of risk management
  • Risk review requires traceability of decision making

 

In a recent survey, 20% of sponsors – and even fewer providers – reported using technology for any of the following specific activities that support risk-based activities*:

  • Data integration and oversight
  • Data visualization
  • Centralized statistical monitoring/testing
  • Decision analytics to assess risks and potential impacts
