Introduction:
Innovation and the “Change” process have gripped the clinical research Industry in the last few years. Evolution in technology and Risk Management processes consequently lead to release of the latest International Council of harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical practice (GCP) E6 R2 step 4 on Nov 30 2016. Other highlights of the Research Industry are revision to the “Common Rule” “to reduce burden, delay and ambiguity for investigators”, the Food and Drug administration (FDA) encouraging Diversity because there is variability of drug response and FDA’s initiatives for paperless trials with the release of multiple guidance documents addressing technology tools including electronic informed consent (FDA, 2017; HHS, 2017 and …show more content…

They were sent to central IRB for approval. The site was shipped the revised worksheets. Arrangements are made for the site to return the worksheets isolated at site initiation. The study team opened the site to enroll subjects after the verification of the returned worksheets. The PI and the study team are content that the issue was identified and corrected before any subject enrollment through timely and meticulous teamwork.
