Lecture series on Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP)

Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) is a set of standards that provide guidance on implementing Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) principles to the analysis of samples from a clinical trial. By combining the GLP and GCP sets of guidelines, GCLP ensures the reliability, quality, consistency, and integrity of the clinical trial data generated by laboratories. Compliance with this standard provides assurance that the data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, safety, and confidentiality of trial subjects are protected.
