    Conducting a Virtual GCP Audit of a CRO Managed Study During the COVID-19 Pandemic

    seats

    Most pharmaceutical and biotech companies (sponsors) outsource the management and conduct of their clinical trials to a Contract Research Organization (CRO).  Although sponsors can delegate tasks to a CRO, they continue to be responsible for subjects’ safety and overall trial compliance to regulatory requirements.  This is a difficult task under normal circumstances, but seemingly impossible under current COVID-19 travel restrictions.  Even with this challenge, global health authorities will still expect sponsors to have complete and uninterrupted oversight of their CRO partners.
