This survey assessed SOP usage at a medical center to provide baseline information and identify training needs. It found that SOPs were not used by all respondents, including some PIs and staff. Fewer PIs felt SOPs were important for compliance compared to CRCs and managers. While most CRCs and managers used SOP monitoring, fewer PIs did. Most CRCs were interested in SOP training versus PIs. The study limitations included a small sample size and potential non-response bias. Future work should present results, provide training, conduct additional surveys, and test an SOP support program to improve usage.

What Is IP?
IP/ IMP – Investigational Medical Product
An investigational product refers to a preventative (vaccine), a therapeutic (drug or biologic), device, diagnostic, or palliative used in a clinical trial.
What is IP manufacturing?
IP Manufacturing responsibility lies with the sponsor with any applicable GMP.
Any changes in the investigational or comparator product during the course of clinical development – additional studies need to be check for formulated product whether these changes would significantly alter the pharmacokinetic profile of the product.
What is Labeling?
The IP label contains information on :
Composition
Storage
Requirements, expiration date (if applicable), etc.
Expired and/or un-labelled IP must be quarantined and not to be dispensed.
Explain expiration and retest dates to the subject.

Essential Documents For the Conduct of Clinical TrialClinosolIndia
The conduct of a clinical trial involves the generation and maintenance of various essential documents to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. These documents serve as a record of the trial and provide evidence of the study's conduct, integrity, and participant protection. Here are some essential documents commonly required for the conduct of a clinical trial
Investigator: A person responsible for the conduct of the study at the trial site.
Investigator is a person responsible for the rights, health and welfare of the study subjects.
A Trial Master File (TMF) is a comprehensive collection of essential documents and records that are generated or collected during the conduct of a clinical trial. The TMF serves as the centralized repository of all study-related documentation and provides a complete and accurate account of the trial's planning, execution, and outcomes. It is an important component of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and regulatory compliance.
In any work or process documents that are needed before initiation, Between or generally the end of the process just like in a clinical trial those “Documents which permit evaluation of the conduct of a trial and the quality of the data produced. It is given in the 8th section of the ICH-GCP.

Manual assessment of biomarker expression is associated with significant inter- and intra reader variability. In some cases there are also limitations when it comes to sensitivity and specificity of manual biomarker assessment.
In one example to the left, the “pure” contribution of inter-reader variability associated with Ki67 assessment was quantified across 20 tumors and 126 participating labs. In that study, it was demonstrated how image analysis can be used to significantly reduce inter-reader variability.
In a another study, the National Danish Validation study of Her2, it was demonstrated how improved sensitivity/specificity of quantitative HER2 protein expression wrt gene amplification lead to significant cost savings in reflex testing.
By automating aspects of stain quality control, it will become scalable to he point where EQA organizations may be able and willing to offer more frequent – perhaps even on-demand – proficiency testing and calibration services.
It is possible that objective and quantitative standards will contribute to improve compliance with protocol recommendations.
In clinical multi-center trials it will be easier to standardize and monitor data from each center.
And it is our hope tha larger diagnostic pathology labs will be able to benefit from such a method by closely monitoring drift in staining quality for biomarkers.

It is a set of written instructions that document a routine or
repetitive activity followed by an organization
The term “SOP” may not always be appropriate
Terms such as protocols, instructions, worksheets, and laboratory
operating procedures may also be used
It is used in healthcare, clinical research, manufacturing, business, and
etc

SOPs as:
"Detailed, written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance
of a specific function.” (ICH-GCP1.55)

23. Conclusion
This is an initial effort to assess SOP usage at our institute. This results
might be biased because subjects who do not know GCP or SOP might
chose not to respond.
1. It provided a current usage of SOPs at our institute
2. SOPs were not used by all study respondents including PI, Co-PI, CRC
and other research support staff
3. Considerably fewer PIs and Co-PIs used and were correlated SOPs with
GCP compliance
4. Further studies are necessary to determine whether there is a need to
develop a training program at our institute for supporting investigator–
sponsors and other clinical research professionals in developing and
implementing SOPs in all types of clinical research studies involving
human subjects.
23
24. Limitations
The overall survey response rate was only 10.2%, and
sample size is small for both groups. Target audiences who
do not know GCP or SOP might chose not to respond.
CRCs and study managers more likely have had GCP
training experiences through different resources, such as
UC Davis CTSC annual clinical research training program
and brown bag seminars. Therefore, differences between
these study groups might be biased.
24
25. Future Directions
To further assess SOP usage
Plan To identify need for training
To present survey results
Do To deliver an SOP introductory seminar
To conduct an SOP survey & analyze results
To identify a small group for testing an SOP
