The oversight of GxP activities during the COVID-19 pandemic was limited to mission critical activities. This session will discuss about approaches adapted by international regulatory authorities to ensure regulatory oversight of GxP activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also discusses about approaches to increase health authorities confidence in the quality and compliance of clinical trials data.

Learning Objectives

Apply ICMRA’s global regulator perspective on the change from on-site inspections during the pandemic to remote ways of maintaining regulatory oversight (and potential influence on industry practices) and what the future may look like for inspections; Describe innovative alternative methods adopted by the US FDA to evaluate data integrity and reliability during the COVID-19 pandemic; Discuss tools to increase health authorities confidence in the quality and compliance of clinical trials data.
