Online Class: Research Quality: Handling Investigational Drug Products
An investigational drug product, often referred to as "IP", is the pharmaceutical form of an active ingredient generally tested in a clinical trial and used for an unapproved indication, or used to gain further information about an approved drug product. Most of the medication available to you from your physician and your pharmacist was at one time an 'investigational drug product'. Investigational drug products are developed and tested to provide relief to those suffering from various diseases such as ALS, AIDS, cancer, heart trouble, headaches, etc. to prove the investigational drug can ease the suffering brought on by these diseases.
This course is designed for all clinicians conducting clinical research. Specifically, CRAs, Research Coordinators, Investigators, Sub-Investigators, Auditors, Project Managers and any other individual involved with handling investigational materials will benefit from taking this course.
Good Clinical Practices regulations require that researchers have continuous training. This course may satisfy that requirement. We will discuss the regulatory requirements for sponsors handling investigational drug products and the requirements at an investigator's sites. We will learn how to perform drug accountability and drug compliance calculations. A sample Temperature/Humidity Log will be included in this course to provide guidance on how to maintain required environmental records.
