MHRA Inspection of UCL

In the week commencing 31st October, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) carried out a routine statutory Good Clinical Practice (GCP) inspection of UCL.

The inspection, which focused on the clinical trials support and oversight systems that the Joint Research Office has in place for academic clinical trials sponsored by UCL, was a success. Whilst the inspectors' full report is awaited the feedback given by the MHRA throughout the inspection and at the closing meeting, is that were no 'critical' or 'major' findings. The inspection has demonstrated that, through the JRO, UCL has in place a good level of expertise for supporting clinical trials and robust systems for oversight of the trials portfolio.
