Good Clinical Practice guidelines require clinical trial documents to be kept for at least two years after the last marketing application approval in an ICH region. These documents may need to be stored longer if regulations or the sponsor require it.
The EU Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) 536/2014 demands that the content of the clinical trial master file be archived for a minimum of 25 years after the trial ends. This ensures compliance with new regulations and helps preserve important data for future research and checks.
The main challenge is managing and storing large amounts of data effectively, ensuring it’s easy to retrieve and complies with strict regulatory standards. You should keep it locked for editing, but accessible.
