Quality assurance in clinical trials mainly involves which action?

Quality assurance in clinical trials focuses on proactively identifying risks that could lead to serious noncompliance or data integrity issues and then acting to prevent them. Using risk-based strategies allows QA to target potential problem areas, investigate actual instances of noncompliance, and implement corrective and preventive actions to stop recurrence, protecting participant safety and data reliability. This approach embodies the ongoing, systemic effort to improve processes and ensure regulatory standards are met. Other activities like routine equipment maintenance, branding checks, or simply scheduling site visits are important operational tasks, but they don’t capture the QA emphasis on risk assessment and the CAPA (corrective and preventive actions) cycle.
