1.0 PURPOSE/ INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
All trial data must be kept so that the data can be accessed after the trial is finished. This
may be necessary in the event of unexpected side effects after the trial drug has been
approved. It is the responsibility of the Sponsor and the Principal Investigator to keep
these records.
The ICH GCP Guidelines are specific about which documents are essential for the
conduct of a clinical trial and which of these must be located in the Investigators’ trial
file. The ICH GCP Guidelines state that essential documents be retained ‘ until at least 2
years after the last approval of a marketing application in an ICH region’. This is not
expected to be sole responsibility of the Investigator, ‘it is the responsibility of the
Sponsor to inform the Investigator/Institution as to when these documents no longer
need to be retained.
1.2 INTRODUCTION
Archiving is the act of storing and preserving non-active records with an enduring
value .the archivist coordinates and ensures quality storage and easy retrieval of the
records.
