Sponsor Responsibilities

The clinical trial sponsor carries ultimate responsibility for a clinical trial.  This training explains why this is so important and where the specific responsibilities come from. We also look at how these responsibilities can be met and also how you can demonstrate compliance and oversight in the event of an inspection.

We can also cover responsibilities when contracting out work to a vendor: how to select and manage vendors and how to demonstrate oversight of contracted tasks, duties and functions

Objectives:

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

  • Describe the main milestones of the clinical trial process
  • Outline the responsibilities of the clinical trial sponsor
  • Identify the key aspects to consider when delegating to vendors and investigational sites

Who it is suitable for:

The course is aimed at those assuming sponsor responsibility for clinical trials and can be tailored for those who contract out the bulk of the operational aspects of the trial, or non-commercial organisations new to the role of sponsor.
