Source data/documentation in clinical trials must meet the ALCOA-C standard: Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, and Complete. This ensures that data is credible, traceable to the source, and maintains integrity throughout the study. These attributes are essential for maintaining high-quality, reliable, and verifiable clinical trial records.
GCP guidelines mandate that source documentation should adhere to the ALCOA-C principles to maintain data integrity and reliability.
