What type of information must be included in IP records?

Tracking investigational product requires complete documentation. IP records must include dates of receipt and use, quantities dispensed or returned, batch or serial numbers, expiration dates, and a unique code that links each portion of IP to the specific trial participant. This full data set ensures precise traceability from receipt to administration to disposal, supports inventory reconciliation and potential recalls, and helps verify that the right product with the correct expiry is given to the right person while protecting participant confidentiality with coded identifiers. Missing any one element—such as only recording expiration dates, or only names, or only quantities—would leave gaps in the audit trail and compromise safety and regulatory compliance.
