Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects - Good clinical practice (ISO 14155:2020)

This document addresses good clinical practice for the design, conduct, recording and reporting of
clinical investigations carried out in human subjects to assess the clinical performance or effectiveness
and safety of medical devices.
For post-market clinical investigations, the principles set forth in this document are intended to be
followed as far as relevant, considering the nature of the clinical investigation (see Annex I).
This document specifies general requirements intended to
— protect the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects,
— ensure the scientific conduct of the clinical investigation and the credibility of the clinical
investigation results,
— define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator, and
— assist sponsors, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved
in the conformity assessment of medical devices.
NOTE 1 Users of this document need to consider whether other standards and/or national requirements
also apply to the investigational device(s) under consideration or the clinical investigation. If differences in
requirements exist, the most stringent apply.
NOTE 2 For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) demonstration of the analytical validity (the SaMD’s output
is accurate for a given input), and where appropriate, the scientific validity (the SaMD’s output is associated to the
intended clinical condition/physiological state), and clinical performance (the SaMD’s output yields a clinically
meaningful association to the target use) of the SaMD, the requirements of this document apply as far as relevant
(see Reference [4]). Justifications for exemptions from this document can consider the uniqueness of indirect
contact between subjects and the SaMD.
This document does not apply to in vitro diagnostic medical devices. However, there can be situations,
dependent on the device and national or regional requirements, where users of this document might
consider whether specific sections and/or requirements of this document could be applicable.

Klinische Prüfung von Medizinprodukten an Menschen - Gute klinische Praxis (ISO 14155:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt die Gute Klinische Praxis für das Design, die Durchführung, Aufzeichnung und Berichterstattung klinischer Prüfungen von Medizinprodukten an menschlichen Prüfungsteilnehmern fest, um die klinische Leistungsfähigkeit oder Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit zu bewerten.
Für klinische Untersuchungen nach dem Inverkehrbringen sollen die in diesem Dokument dargelegten Grundsätze unter Berücksichtigung der Art der klinischen Prüfung, soweit relevant, befolgt werden (siehe Anhang I).
Dieses Dokument legt allgemeine Anforderungen fest, mit denen Folgendes erreicht werden soll:
- der Schutz der Rechte, Sicherheit und des Wohlbefindens der beteiligten Prüfungsteilnehmer;
- die Sicherstellung der wissenschaftlich korrekten Durchführung der klinischen Prüfung und der Glaubwürdigkeit der Ergebnisse der klinischen Prüfung;
- die Festlegung der Verantwortlichkeiten des Sponsors und Hauptprüfers;
- die Unterstützung der Arbeit von Sponsoren, Prüfern, Ethik-Kommissionen, Aufsichtsbehörden und anderen am Konformitätsbewertungsverfahren für Medizinprodukte beteiligten Institutionen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Anwender dieses Dokuments haben zu berücksichtigen, ob noch weitere Normen und/oder nationale Anforderungen auf das jeweils zu beurteilende Prüfprodukt oder die klinische Prüfung anwendbar sind. Liegen Unterschiede zwischen den Anforderungen vor, gelten die strengsten.
ANMERKUNG 2 Bei Software als Medizinprodukt (SaMD) gelten für die Demonstration der analytischen Validität (die Ausgabewerte der SaMD sind für vorgegebene Eingabewerte korrekt) und falls angemessen, die wissenschaftlichen Validität (die Ausgabewerte der SaMD sind mit dem beabsichtigten klinischen Zustand/des beabsichtigten physiologischen Zustands assoziiert) sowie die klinische Leistungsfähigkeit (die Ausgabewerte der SaMD stehen in einem klinisch sinnvollen Zusammenhang mit der zweckbestimmten Nutzung) der SaMD die Anforderungen dieses Dokuments, soweit sie relevant sind (siehe Literaturhinweis [4]). Als Rechtfertigung für eine Befreiung von den Anforderungen dieses Dokuments kann die Einzigartigkeit des indirekten Kontakts zwischen den Prüfungsteilnehmern und der SaMD in Erwägung gezogen werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Medizinprodukte für die In-vitro-Diagnostik. Es kann jedoch, in Abhängigkeit vom Produkt und nationalen oder regionalen Anforderungen, Situationen geben, in denen Anwender dieses Dokuments in Erwägung ziehen könnten, ob bestimmte Abschnitte und/oder Anforderungen dieses Dokuments anwendbar sein könnten.

Investigation clinique des dispositifs médicaux pour sujets humains - Bonne pratique clinique (ISO 14155:2020)

Le présent document traite des bonnes pratiques cliniques pour la conception, la conduite, l'enregistrement et l'établissement des rapports relatifs aux investigations cliniques menées sur des sujets humains en vue d'évaluer la performance clinique, l'efficacité ou la sécurité des dispositifs médicaux.
Dans le cadre des investigations cliniques après mise sur le marché, les principes définis dans le présent document sont destinés à être appliqués, le cas échéant, en prenant en compte la nature de l'investigation clinique (voir Annexe I).
Le présent document spécifie les exigences générales pour:
—     protéger les droits, la sécurité et le bien-être des sujets humains;
—     assurer la conduite scientifique de l'investigation clinique et la crédibilité des résultats de l'investigation;
—     définir les responsabilités du promoteur et de l'investigateur principal; et
—     aider les promoteurs, les investigateurs, les comités d'éthique, les autorités réglementaires et les autres organismes impliqués dans l'évaluation de la conformité des dispositifs médicaux.
NOTE 1  Les utilisateurs du présent document doivent estimer si d'autres normes et/ou exigences nationales peuvent également s'appliquer au(x) dispositif(s) sous investigation ou à l'investigation clinique. Si différentes exigences existent, la plus stricte s'applique.
NOTE 2  Pour les logiciels constituant des dispositifs médicaux (Software as a Medical Device ou SaMD), la démonstration de la validité analytique (le SaMD donne un résultat exact pour une entrée donnée), de la validité scientifique quand elle s'applique (le résultat du SaMD est associé à l'état clinique/physiologique attendu) et de la performances clinique (le résultat du SaMD a un lien cliniquement significatif avec l'utilisation cible) sont couvertes par les exigences du présent document le cas échéant (voir Référence [4]). Des dérogations au présent document peuvent être justifiées par la spécificité du contact indirect entre les sujets et le SaMD.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux dispositifs médicaux de diagnostic in vitro. Toutefois, dans certaines situations, en fonction du dispositif et des exigences nationales ou régionales, les utilisateurs du présent document peuvent déterminer si des sections et/ou exigences spécifiques du présent document sont applicables ou non.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 194, Biological and clinical evaluation of
medical devices.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (see ISO 14155:2011), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— inclusion of a summary section of GCP principles (see Clause 4);
— reference to registration of the clinical investigation in a publicly accessible data base (see 5.4);
— inclusion of guidance with regards to clinical quality management (see 9.1);
— inclusion of risk-based monitoring (see 6.7);
— inclusion of guidance statistical considerations (see Annex A);
— inclusion of guidance for ethics committees (see Annex G);
— reinforcement of risk management throughout the process of a clinical investigation (planning to
consideration of results) including Annex H;
— clarification of applicability of the requirements of this standard to the different clinical development
stages (see Annex I);
— inclusion of guidance on clinical investigation audits (see Annex J).

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 14155:2018(E)
Clinical investigation of medical devices for human
subjects — Good clinical practice
1 Scope
This document addresses good clinical practice for the design, conduct, recording and reporting of
pre-market clinical investigations carried out in human subjects to assess the clinical performance or
effectiveness and safety of medical devices.
The principles set forth in this document also apply to post-market clinical investigations and should be
followed as far as relevant, considering the nature of the clinical investigation and the requirements of
national regulations (see Annex I).
This document specifies general requirements intended to
— protect the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects,
— ensure the scientific conduct of the clinical investigation and the credibility of the clinical
investigation results,
— define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator, and
— assist sponsors, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved
in the conformity assessment of medical devices.
NOTE 1 This standard can be used for regulatory purposes.
NOTE 2 Users of this International Standard will need to consider whether other standards and/or
requirements also apply to the investigational device(s) under consideration.
NOTE 3 For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), justifications for exemptions of this standard can consider
the uniqueness of indirect contact between subjects and the SaMD. However it is required to demonstrate the
analytical validity (the SaMD’s output is accurate for a given input), and where appropriate, the scientific validity
(the SaMD’s output is associated to the intended clinical condition/physiological state), and clinical performance
(the SaMD’s output yields a clinically meaningful association to the target use) of the SaMD (see Reference [5]).
This document does not apply to in vitro diagnostic medical devices.

ADE
adverse event related to the use of an investigational medical device
Note 1 to entry: This definition includes adverse events resulting from insufficient or inadequate instructions for
use, deployment, implantation, installation, or operation, or any malfunction of the investigational medical device.
Note 2 to entry: This definition includes any event resulting from use error or from intentional misuse of the
investigational medical device.
3.2
adverse event
AE
untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including
abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users or other persons, whether or not related to the
investigational medical device
Note 1 to entry: This definition includes events related to the investigational medical device or the comparator.
Note 2 to entry: This definition includes events related to the procedures involved.
Note 3 to entry: For users or other persons, this definition is restricted to events related to the use of
investigational medical devices.

determine whether these activities were conducted, and the data recorded, analysed and accurately
reported, according to the CIP, standard operating procedures, this International Standard and
applicable regulatory requirements
3.4
audit trail
documentation that allows reconstruction of the course of events
3.5
blinding/masking
procedure in which one or more parties to the clinical investigation are kept unaware of the treatment
assignment(s)
Note 1 to entry: Single blinding usually refers to the subject(s) being unaware of the treatment assignment(s).
Double blinding usually refers to the subject(s), investigator(s), monitor and, in some cases, cent
