These resources may share best practices in implementing these guidelines as well as resources for learning and testing your know knowledge of the guidance.</p> <p><strong>When will the ACRP Certification Exams reflect the ICH Guideline changes?</strong></p> <p>ACRP Certification exams will align with the current ICH Guidelines as listed on the ICH website as of October 1, 2024.

The new guidance is ICH E6(R3). This standard helps to assure that the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants are protected, that the conduct is consistent with the principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, and that the clinical trial results are reliable.</p> <p><strong>How will this pending change from the ICH E6 impact my role—or the roles of my team?</strong></p> <p>The changes in the ICH E6 guideline impact all those whose roles involve conducting and leading clinical research. It is critical to understand the specific guidance changes and their impact on the day-to-day implementation of clinical trials and studies—and how to incorporate the changes into trial implementation.</p> <p><strong>When should we be expected to put these changes into action?</strong></p> <p>Upon release of the new guidance, every organization—whether sponsor, CRO, or site—should immediately take action to review the new guidance and understand the changes. ACRP will release a series of resources that will help you understand and communicate the changes to your team and into your organization.</p> <p><strong>How do I train my teams on the new guidance?</strong></p> <p>ACRP is responding rapidly to adapt all its educational and training courseware to ensure the new guidance is incorporated. Our first priority will be to relaunch our Introduction to Good Clinical Practice course and adapt all ACRP Foundational Training. We will also ensure all ACRP Continuing Education is updated, an effort we expect to continue through the first half of 2025.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column sidebar"> </div> </div></div> </section> </div> <footer class="footer"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="col-fullwidth"> <div class="footer-logo"> <img width="300" height="91" src="https://acrpnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/ACRP_Logo_White_CMYK_300px.png" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div><!-- /.col-fullwidth --> <div class="col"> <div class="footer-copy"> <p>With more than 16,500 members, the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) is the only non-profit solely dedicated to representing, supporting, and advocating for clinical research professionals.
