Quality information in a trial must be fit for purpose and sufficient to provide confidence in the results. This means the data collected and the analyses performed are designed to answer the trial’s objectives with endpoints that are appropriate, and the information is accurate, complete, timely, and traceable. When data are fit for purpose, they are reliable enough for regulators and investigators to make decisions about safety and efficacy, and the study has enough quality controls to ensure integrity and validity of conclusions. It’s not about collecting endless data, but about collecting the right data and validating it through proper methods, documentation, and auditing. Data should be accessible for review and analysis, while still protecting participant confidentiality, and results should not be hidden or suppressed because of unfavorable outcomes.
