So it’s been 5 minutes since we talked about Debbie’s favourite topic documentation, so we’re back there to discuss Good Documentation Practice (GDP). What does that mean in real, clinical trial practice, what are some of the rules that need to be followed?
Here is the link to the FDA Warning letter sent to Amazon.com in December 2023 - https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/amazoncom-inc-662503-12202023
AND! Debbie finally found the name of the drug that began with a “K” = Ketek, and the fraudulent enrollment https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp078032#:~:text=The%20study%20was%20completed%20in,complete%20fabrication%20of%20patient%20enrollment.

How do we ensure (and assure) the quality of every part of the clinical trial process. Why do you even need quality assurance? What sorts of things do auditors or Inspectors find? That’s our topic for today’s episode, so be prepared to hear about what QA is and why it’s important.

In this episode, Debbie explains to Elyse all about phenylephrine and why it’s been in the news (and maybe not as obvious on your pharmacy shelves) in the last 6 months. What research was done when to get this drug onto the market, what the FDA have said recently and what may the next steps be going forwards.
We recommend you check out the FDA website to stay up to date on this issue, if you’re interested, since this episode was recorded a few weeks ago compared to when it is being released - https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-clarifies-results-recent-advisory-committee-meeting-oral-phenylephrine

In this episode, Debbie is going to continue to tell Elyse about some tragedies in clinical trials, what occurred, what we learned and the consequences of them. This is part two of two linked episodes (this and the previous episode).
So, heads up, definitely a content warning for this episode, it will include medical outcomes, death (including deaths of children), fetal development, torture, unethical conduct, medical racism (racism in general) - just a whole mixed bag of really terrible stuff. If that doesn’t sound like something you want to listen to, feel free to give this one a miss.

In this episode, Debbie is going to tell Elyse about documentation and how important it is as both the instructions of how to do the study and evidence of what/ how it was actually done. Making sure that everything is documented is an important part of transparency. We hope you enjoy us nerding out about paperwork!
