ICH E6(R2): Good clinical practice [1] is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and reporting trials that involve the participation of human subjects. FDA: Good Review Practice: Clinical Review of Investigational New Drug Applications. [2]
A series of unsuccessful and ineffective clinical trials in the past were the main reason for the creation of ICH and GCP guidelines in the US and Europe. These discussions ultimately led to the development of certain regulations and guidelines, which evolved into the code of practice for international consistency of quality research.
The ICH topics are divided into four categories and ICH topic codes are assigned according to these categories: [11] Q: Quality Guidelines; S: Safety Guidelines; E: Efficacy Guidelines; M: Multidisciplinary Guidelines; ICH guidelines are not binding, and instead implemented by regulatory members through national and regional governance.

Serious adverse reactions are serious adverse events judged to be related to drug therapy. A SUSAR (suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction) should be reported to a drug regulatory authority under an investigational license by using the CIOMS form (or in some countries an equivalent form).
An adverse event is described as "any adverse change in health or "side-effect" that occurs in a person who participates in a clinical trial while the patient is receiving the treatment (study medication, application of the study device, etc.) or within a pre-specified period of time after their treatment has been completed."
Section 4.3.4 of the ICH E-6 Good Clinical Practice: Consolidated Guidance reads "Although a subject is not obliged to give his/her reason(s) for withdrawing prematurely from a trial, the investigator should make a reasonable effort to ascertain the reason(s), while fully respecting the subject's rights."
The activity that is most commonly associated with pharmacovigilance (PV), and which consumes a significant number of resources for drug regulatory authorities (or similar government agencies) and drug safety departments in pharmaceutical companies, is that of adverse event reporting. Adverse event (AE) reporting involves the receipt, triage ...
Clinical monitoring is the oversight and administrative efforts that monitor a participant's health and efficacy of the treatment during a clinical trial.Both independent and government-run grant-funding agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) [1] and the World Health Organization (WHO), [2] require data and safety monitoring protocols for Phase I and II clinical trials ...
