Résumé
OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for improving the relevant standard operating procedures （SOP） and biological sample management in drug clinical trials. METHODS According to Good Clinical Practice， Data On-site Verification Points of Drugs Clinical Trials， Human Genetic Resources Management Regulations Implementation Rules， Qualification Examination Rules of Drug Clinical Trials Institution， based on the experience of managing clinical trials programs， the irregularities in biological samples management were analyzed by using statistical quality control tables and protocol deviation （PD） reported by sponsors， in the context of the quality control of drug clinical trials projects managed by the author from July 2016 to May 2023. The precautions in various aspects of sample management were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 101 biospecimen- related irregularities were found in the 60 drug clinical trials projects. Biological sample collection， preservation， and handling were the aspects with the highest incidence of irregular operations in biological sample management， accounting for 37.62%， 25.74%， and 21.78%， respectively. Regulating the management of biospecimens requires multiple efforts. The institutional office and the ethics committee carefully reviewed the consistency of the protocols， informed consent， and genetic office application involving biospecimen collection and handling when the project was initiated. Institutional office quality controllers should pay attention to the attendance and training of authorized personnel at project initiation. The principal investigator， research nurse， collector， handler， transporter， relevant personnel of the central laboratory， and institutional office quality controller have their roles during the project implementation phase. On this basis， all parties involved in the management of biological samples should do a good job of effective communication， find problems and report them in time， and conduct special studies on key aspects.
Résumé
By referring to the domestic and foreign relevant regulatory guidelines, this paper analyzed and sum-marized the ethical point in the design phase in the perspective of relevant regulations of clinical waste sample man-agement and biological sample management. It also analyzed the focus problems including the difference in sample library and clinical laboratory remaining sample as well as the ownership of the sample, to provide theoretical basis for ethics committee to review this kind of protocols.
