PURPOSE
The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to describe the standard
procedures to be followed when preparing a Clinical Trial Authorisation application for
clinical studies sponsored by the University of Oxford.
2.
INTRODUCTION
An algorithm has been produced by the MHRA which can be used to help determine
whether a study is a clinical trial.
Any Clinical Trial in the UK which falls within the scope of the EU Clinical Trial
Directive 2001/20/EC needs to have authorisation from the Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). A Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA) form should
be completed to obtain this authorisation.
Prior to applying for the CTA, a EudraCT number must be obtained for all clinical
studies and this must be included on all clinical trial authorisation applications.
3.
SCOPE
This SOP applies to clinical trials where the University of Oxford has accepted the
role of Sponsor, in the INSERT NAME department/ for the INSERT NAME/NUMBER
trial (delete as appropriate)
This SOP does not apply to commercially sponsored research or research sponsored
by an external non-commercial organization.
