What is the purpose of measures to ensure investigational product quality?

Ensuring the investigational product (IP) remains of high quality protects patient safety and preserves the integrity of trial results. Measures address manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storage, handling, distribution, and return or destruction of the IP, plus systems for accountability and appropriate temperature control and stability monitoring. When quality is maintained, each dose given to a participant is the one described in the protocol, so safety data and efficacy conclusions are trustworthy and regulatory requirements are met. The aim is not to cut costs, speed up recruitment, or bypass oversight—those would compromise safety and data integrity.
