Site Readiness Under ICH E6(R3): Collaborative Accountability

ICH E6(R3) strengthens the shared responsibility between sponsors and sites. Where E6(R2) left room for interpretation, ICH E6(R3) provides clearer expectations for:

 

  • Qualified, documented personnel 
  • Transparent task delegation 
  • Data integrity through digital traceability 
  • Shared monitoring responsibilities

What Changes in Practice?

Area

Expectation

Practical Adjustment

Training & Role Qualification

Training and delegation must be documented

Keep a real-time delegation log and training binder (digital preferred)

Data Governance

Traceable, auditable records are required

Ensure systems have audit trails and version control

Monitoring Collaboration

Oversight is shared

Participate actively in central monitoring reviews

IP & Digital Tools

Electronic processes must be validated

Confirm validation with sponsor or vendor, especially for eConsent or eSource

Bottom Line

Sites are not expected to do more, but to show clarity, traceability, and readiness. The focus shifts from completing tasks to demonstrating control.
