Introducing the newest addition to our GCP course catalog: Basic CFR Course For Clinical Trials In The USA
The introductory online course to CFR for clinical trials in the USA is the ideal introduction to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically, it zooms in on the parts regulating clinical trials with drug products.
This course identifies investigator and sponsor obligations when setting up and conducting clinical trials in the USA. It covers the content of Title 21 of the CFR regulating clinical trials ( Title 21 CFR Part 11, 50, 54, 56, and Title 45 Part 46).
But what does the course entail, and who is the course for?
What is the Code Of Federal Regulations (CFR)?
The Code of Federal Regulations contains the specific interpretation of US law by government agencies. The FDA is one such agency that outlines in the CFR how the US drug laws are implemented.
We have built this online training course on the CFR, covering the specific guidelines needed for trial compliance within the United States. These sections govern food and drugs for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are relevant to clinical trials for products. We also cover additional requirements by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
We specifically cover the following areas:
- 21 CFR Part 11 – Electronic Systems And Signatures
- 21 CFR 50 – Protection Of Human Subjects
- 21 CFR 54 – Financial Disclosure By Clinical Investigators
- 21 CFR 56 – Institutional Review Boards
- 45 CFR 46 – Protection Of Human Subjects
*Important note: This new course covers additional requirements for compliance within the CFR. While the US does not mandate GCP, this course covers the parts that are different or in addition to ICH-GCP.
