Stakeholder’s Flow chart

Standard Operating Procedures

Clinical Trial Application (CTA)

A CTA contains information and documentation to support the objectives and goals of the

proposed clinical trial. It also includes data to support the drug product quality. The clinical and

quality components of the application are reviewed in parallel and both must be satisfactory

before a No Objection Letter can be issued.

Sponsors must file a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) to conduct clinical trials in Phases I through

III of drug development and comparative bioavailability trials.

This includes applications to conduct clinical trials involving marketed products where the

proposed use of the product is outside the parameters of the authorized

SOP is an authorized written procedure giving instructions for performing operations not

necessarily specific to a given product or material (e.g. equipment operation, maintenance and

cleaning; validation; cleaning of premises and environmental control; sampling and inspection).

documentation

SCOPE

Project Justification

It is a mandatory requirement of Health Canada that Sponsor must file a Clinical Trial

Application (CTA) to conduct clinical trials in Phases I through III of drug development and

comparative bioavailability trials. The first step for the successfully filing of a CTA is a well-

documented procedure that ensures that everyone involved is well aware of the documentation

methods.

1.5 Critical Success Factors

The Food and Drugs Act and Regulations provide authority to Health Canada to regulate the

sale of drugs for the purposes of use in human clinical trials. Part C, Division 5 of the

Regulations defines specific Clinical Trial Application (CTA) and Clinical Trial Application

Amendment (CTA-A) requirements for the sale and importation of drugs for use in human

clinical trials in Canada.

Division 5 of the Regulations came into force since September 2001 and was developed to

recognize the generally accepted principles of good clinical practice

The Regulations are consistent with the principles, definitions and standards found in the

Health Canada / ICH Guidance Documents E6: Good Clinical Practice: Consolidated

Guideline,

E8: General Considerations for Clinical Trials and

E2A: Clinical Safety Data Management:

Definitions and Standards for Expedited Reporting.

This guidance documents, developed through the International Conference on Harmonisation

(ICH) process have been adopted by Health Canada. Together, they define parameters for the

Clinical Trial Application (CTA)

A must to file Clinical Trial Application (CTA) to conduct clinical trials in Phases I through III of

Drug development and

Comparative bioavailability trials. This includes applications to conduct clinical trials

involving marketed products where the proposed use of the product is outside the

parameters of the authorized drugs.

A similar Health Canada review and approval process exists for clinical trials involving

natural health products. Under the Natural Health Products Regulations, which came

into effect on January 1, 2004.

Natural health products (NHPs) are defined as:

* Vitamins and minerals

* Herbal remedies

* Homeopathic medicines

* Traditional medicines such as traditional Chinese medicines

* Probiotics, and

* Other products like amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Submissions satisfying the NHP Directorate's requirements will be issued a Notice of

Authorization to commence the trial.

1.6 Assumptions

Sponsors conducting clinical trials in Canada with products that have received a Notice of

Compliance with Conditions (NOC/c) are also required to file a CTA.

the product is outside the parameters of the authorized Notice of Compliance (NOC) or Drug

Identification Number (DIN) application .

1.7 Constraints

Project constraints being imposed in areas such as schedule, budget, resources, products to

be reused, technology to be employed, products to be acquired, and project constraints based

on the current knowledge today interfaces to other products.

IMPORTANT: Each Module should be submitted in a separate binder.

The modules are organized and numbered consistently in an internationally adopted format -

the Common Technical Document (CTD). Adhering to the CTD format facilitates evaluation by

Health Canada and ensures consistency of documents in subsequent stages of the drug

authorization process. Additional information about the CTD format is available on the web site

of the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) at www.ich.org.

The CTA should be sent directly to the appropriate Directorate. The outer label should be clearly

state "Clinical Trial Application".

DOCUMENT NOT INCLUDED IN THESE MODULES SHOULD NOT BE FILED AND IT IS

OUT OF PROJECT SCOPE.

Project quality management ensures that the project satisfies the stated or implied

Level of quality and the key out puts of quality management includes:

1. Quality Management Plan

2. Quality matrices

3. Quality Check lists

9.1 Quality Management Plan

The main goal of the project is to develop a Standard Operating Procedure for a CTA within the targeted

time.

By scheduling a suite of Quality Assurance Reviews, to be undertaken by an independent

person to the project, the customer will be provided with a “trusted view” of the overall progress

of the project and the likelihood of the deliverables actually meeting the quality targets agreed.

All the procedures and procurements will be carried out as per established standards ie

GMP, GLP, ICH and ISO standards

9.2 Matrices and Reporting

A metric is a standard of measurement. Examples are customer satisfaction, failure

rates and availability of service and goods. The quality management team at the site is

responsible for actively identifying issues and trends to support continuous

improvement. This is facilitated through the collection of quality and compliance Key

Performance Indicators. The information collected could be from a variety of sources

such regulatory audits, self inspections, trending reports or non-conformance quality

systems monitoring programs.

The site quality team is responsible for providing visibility of the quality information

through appropriate forums, reports and communication channels. The quality and

compliance Key Performance Indicators are reviewed and reported to both the Project

management teams and Corporate Quality and Operations management on a

scheduled basis.

9.3 Quality Check list

A list if items to be noted or consulted. It helps the project team to verify that a set of required steps has

been performed.

Whether reports are complete

Whether suppliers are qualified or ISO certified

Whether the reports are signed and dated.

9.4 Quality control measures

(g) Any specific precautions to be observed, especially in regard to the sampling of

sterile or noxious material.

There should be a standard operating procedure describing the details of the batch (lot)

numbering system, with the objective of ensuring that each batch of intermediate, bulk or

finished product is identified with a specific batch number.

The standard operating procedures for batch numbering that are applied to the

processing stage and to the respective packaging stage should be related to each other.

The standard operating procedure for batch numbering should ensure that the same

batch numbers will not be used repeatedly; this applies also to reprocessing.

Batch-number allocation should be immediately recorded, e.g. in a logbook. The record

should include at least the date of allocation, product identity and size of batch.

There should be written procedures for testing materials and products at different stages

of manufacture, describing the methods and equipment to be used. The tests performed

should be recorded.

Analysis records should include at least the following data:

(a) The name of the material or product and, where applicable, dosage form;

(b) The batch number and, where appropriate, the manufacturer and/or supplier;

(c) References to the relevant specifications and testing procedures;

(d) Test results, including observations and calculations, and reference to any

specifications (limits);

(e) Date(s) and reference number(s) of testing;

(f ) The initials of the persons who performed the testing;

(g) The date and initials of the persons who verified the testing and the calculations,

where appropriate;

(h) A clear statement of release or rejection (or other status decision) and the dated

signature of the designated responsible person.

Written release and rejection procedures should be available for materials and products,

and in particular for the release for sale of the finished product by an authorized person.

Records should be maintained of the distribution of each batch of a product in order, e.g.

to facilitate the recall of the batch if necessary.

Records should be kept for major and critical equipment, as appropriate, of any

validations, calibrations, maintenance, cleaning, or repair operations, including dates

and the identity of the people who carried these operations out.
