How Flex Databases’ QMS Aligns with ICH E6(R3) GCP Guidelines
January 15, 2025
On January 14, 2025, the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) took a major step forward in clinical trials management with the release of the updated E6(R3) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. This milestone reflects the industry’s commitment to enhancing the quality, reliability, and compliance of clinical research.
At Flex Databases, we’re proud to offer a Quality Management System (QMS) designed to support organizations in meeting these new expectations, particularly the principles of Quality by Design (QbD).
What Is Quality by Design in Clinical Trials?
The ICH E6(R3) guidelines emphasize that:
- Quality must be integrated into the trial design and operations.
- Critical-to-quality factors should be identified proactively to protect participants and ensure reliable results.
- Organizations must implement strategies to detect, address, and prevent serious noncompliance.
These principles underlying the importance of planning, risk management, and robust processes to ensure trials meet their objectives efficiently and effectively.
