What must the investigator comply with during the trial?

The key requirement is for the investigator to conduct the trial in accordance with the protocol, follow Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. The protocol is the pre-approved plan for how the trial should be conducted; GCP provides the ethical and scientific quality standards that protect participants and ensure reliable data; and applicable regulatory requirements encompass all laws, regulations, and guidelines that apply to the trial, including local, national, and international rules as well as ethics committee requirements. Local regulations are part of these applicable regulatory requirements, so focusing only on local rules would miss adherence to the protocol and to GCP. In short, full compliance means honoring the protocol, upholding GCP, and meeting all relevant regulatory obligations.
