Clinical Trials Guidance Documents
Guidance documents listed below represent the agency's current thinking on the conduct of clinical trials, good clinical practice and human subject protection.
Guidance documents are not binding for FDA or the public. Guidance should be viewed as recommendations unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. An alternative approach may be used if the approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations.
Some links embedded within guidance documents may have changed since the document was published. If a link does not work, please search for the document by title or contact FDA for assistance.
