The document discusses the differences between the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for clinical trials. The ICH guidelines aim to harmonize standards across countries in order to streamline drug development. Key differences highlighted in the document include additional informed consent requirements, documentation standards, and record retention timelines under the ICH guidelines compared to FDA regulations. Adhering to the international gold standard of the ICH GCP guidelines can facilitate global drug development and approval processes.
