Clinical trials research governance

    Clinical trial agreements

    An agreement is required for all clinical trials involving an external organisation.

    Good Clinical Practice (GCP)

    Principal Investigators (PI’s) of clinical trials must provide evidence of accredited GCP certification undertaken within the previous 3 years. Evidence of GCP certification will form a requirement for Site-Specific Assessment (SSA) authorisation. 

    Clinical Trials Notification (CTN)

    A copy of the eCTN registration must be included with the application.  

    Once the notification process has been completed, the approval letter should be submitted to the Research Governance Office via ERM. The CTN lodgement may occur after governance authorisation for the study has been issued. If this occurs, the CTN registration notification should be submitted via ERM as a post-authorisation notification.  For CTN details please refer to the CTN Information Sheet.
