What is a Protocol Violation?

A protocol violation occurs when the procedures outlined in a clinical trial’s protocol are not followed. This deviation from the approved plan can range from minor issues (e.g., a missed visit) to significant breaches (e.g., enrolling an ineligible participant), potentially affecting the trial’s validity, participant safety, or regulatory compliance. Protocol violations are typically documented and assessed to determine their impact on the study.

For example, in a trial testing a new diabetes medication, a protocol violation might occur if a participant receives an incorrect dose due to a data entry error.

Why are Protocol Violations Important to Address?

Protocol violations are critical to monitor and resolve because they can:

• Impact Participant Safety: Deviations may increase risks to participants or compromise their care.
• Affect Data Integrity: Violations can lead to unreliable or invalid results, impacting the study’s conclusions.
• Compromise Regulatory Compliance: Trials must adhere to protocols approved by regulatory bodies, such as the FDA or EMA.
• Delay Study Progress: Significant violations may require corrective actions or additional reviews, delaying timelines.
• Undermine Trial Credibility: Repeated or serious violations can erode trust in the research process.

Addressing protocol violations promptly ensures the trial’s quality, ethical integrity, and success.

Types of Protocol Violations

1. Major Violations:
   • Significantly impact participant safety or trial outcomes.
   • Example: Administering the wrong investigational product to a participant.
2. Minor Violations:
   • Have minimal impact on safety or outcomes but still require documentation.
   • Example: A participant misses a scheduled follow-up visit.
3. Administrative Violations:
   • Involve errors in trial documentation or procedures.
   • Example: Incomplete informed consent forms.
