A manual of procedures (MOP) can play an important role in the conduct of a clinical trial. Unlike a protocol, which can leave out the prescriptive steps necessary to carry out its instructions, a MOP is a compilation of specifications for clinical trial staff to follow to ensure that a protocol is executed faithfully. While a MOP is not a requirement for conducting a clinical trial, it can serve as a useful supplement to a site’s standard operating procedures and supporting manuals. This webinar explains the benefits of MOPs, how to construct them, their key components, and when best to employ them.
Learning Objectives:
- Define the distinction between a research protocol and a manual of procedures (MOP).
- Identify key information to include within the MOP.
- Explain the regulatory status of a MOP.
- Describe the use of a MOP in small and large trials.
