CITI GCP Training Questions and Verified Answers, 100% Guarantee Pass (Latest 2025) ICH E6 has broader requirements than FDA or HHS concerning confidentiality of medical records and access by third parties. If investigators are complying with ICH E6
guideline, they must: - Correct Answers ✅Clearly disclose
to subjects in the informed consent form that the monitor, auditor, IRB/IEC, and the regulatory authorities may have access to the subject's medical records.
ICH (2016) E6 Section 4.8.10(n) states that the informed consent should indicate that "the monitor(s), the auditor(s), the IRB/IEC, and the regulatory authority(ies) will be granted direct access to the subject's original medical records for verification of clinical trial procedures and/or data, without violating the confidentiality of the subject, to the extent permitted by the applicable laws and regulations and that, by signing a written informed consent form, the subject or the subject's legally acceptable representative is authorizing such access." The FDA regulations at 21 CFR 50.25(a)(5) (Protection of Human Subjects 2016) state only that in seeking informed consent, the following information shall be provided to each
subject:. . . (5) A statement describing the extent, if any, to
which confidentiality of records identifying the subject will be maintained and that notes the possibility that the Food and Drug Administration may inspect the records.While it is true that data sent out of the U.S. loses certain federal protections, this statement is not required. The possibility of hacking data is a risk that should be addressed in the study design and conduct. 1 / 4

In the United States, however, the FDA adopted the ICH E6 only as guidance. Therefore, the ICH E6 guideline does not have the force of law in the United States and is not a regulation. In the Federal Register notice, FDA stated that the ICH E6 guideline "does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes, regulations, or both" (HHS and FDA 1997, 25692).Therefore, compliance is voluntary, but as with any published FDA guidance, compliance is considered part of good clinical practice.Regarding subject receipt of a signed and dated copy of the consent forms, which is true about FDA regulations? - Correct Answers ✅The FDA regulations allow subjects or the legally acceptable representatives (LARs) to receive either a signed or unsigned copy. 2 / 4

The system should use a risk- based approach including which of the following? - Correct Answers ✅Identification of study risks to determine which may safely be omitted from continual monitoring.ICH (2016) E6 Section 5.0.4 states that the sponsor should decide which risks to reduce and/or which risks to accept. The approach used to reduce risk to an acceptable level should be proportionate to the significance of the risk. Risk reduction activities may be incorporated in protocol design and implementation, monitoring plans, and agreements. 3 / 4
