E-DRUG: Draft Manuscript for Good Clinical Research Practice  
--------------------------------------------------------

A draft manuscript "Handbook for Good Clinical Research Practice (GCP):  
Guidance for implementation" is available at  
[http://www.who.int/medicines/](http://www.who.int/medicines/) in the "Latest"

This text is as an adjunct to WHO's "Guidelines for good clinical  
practice (GCP) for trials on pharmaceutical products" (1995), and is  
intended to assist national regulatory authorities, sponsors,  
investigators and Ethics Committees in implementing GCP for  
industry-sponsored, government-sponsored, or investigator-initiated  
clinical research. It is an educational tool to facilitate the  
understanding and implementation of GCP.

As part of the global consultation process in the development of this  
document WHO welcomes any comments on this draft. We should value your  
input before the end of September in order that we may keep to our  
time-frame of publishing this document before the end of the year.
