In the context of GCP, how is quality defined in clinical trials?

Quality in GCP is fitness for purpose: the trial must be scientifically sound and conducted in a way that is appropriate to answer the study objective while safeguarding participants. This means the design, methods, data collection, analysis, and oversight are aligned to produce reliable, credible results, with data integrity, proper risk management, and clear documentation throughout. It’s not about regulatory checklists alone, nor about moving quickly or cutting costs; those factors can affect quality, but they don’t define it. The emphasis is on designing and conducting the trial so its results are trustworthy and fit for making regulatory and clinical decisions.
