The new GCP requires clinical study sites to have enough facilities to conduct clinical trials and be able to cope in the case of emergency. Adequately trained staff should be available. The sites must prepare SOPs for accepting, reviewing and operating clinical trial. Additional SOPs are required for the operation of the Institutional Review Board (IRB). A clinical trial office and an office for IRB operation must be established in the study site. These requirements have been defined as the minimum requirements for any clinical trial to be conducted in hospitals equipped with ample resources, to manage many SOPs, and office staff for clinical trial and IRB.
