What is the purpose of QA in clinical trials?

  1. To minimize financial costs

  2. To publish results quickly

  3. To ensure trials are performed and data generated in compliance with GCP

  4. To fast-track regulatory approval

The correct answer is: To ensure trials are performed and data generated in compliance with GCP

Quality Assurance (QA) plays a critical role in clinical trials as it helps ensure that all aspects of the trial are conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP). GCP is a set of international guidelines that aim to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants, as well as ensure the credibility and reliability of the data generated. Options A, B, and D do not directly address the main purpose of QA in clinical trials, making them incorrect choices. While minimizing financial costs and fast-tracking regulatory approval may be potential benefits of effective QA, these are not the main purpose of QA in clinical trials. Similarly, publishing results quickly may be desirable, but it should not take priority over ensuring compliance with ethical and scientific standards. Option C is the most accurate choice as it directly relates to the main purpose of QA in clinical trials.
