What must the sponsor or investigator maintain regarding delegated activities?

Delegated activities must be watched over, not simply assigned. Ongoing appropriate oversight ensures that tasks delegated to staff are performed by qualified individuals, trained adequately, and in compliance with the protocol, SOPs, and GCP. This oversight includes monitoring performance, reviewing results, providing guidance as needed, and having a mechanism to address any issues promptly. While keeping a delegation log is part of the process, the essential requirement is that there is continuous supervision and accountability to protect participant safety and data integrity. Adequate compensation or documentation alone without ongoing oversight would not meet the responsibility to oversee delegated duties, and having no oversight is clearly unacceptable.
