What are the purposes of trial monitoring?

  1. Ensuring the trial budget is adhered to

  2. Protecting the rights and well-being of human subjects, ensuring data accuracy, and compliance with the protocol and regulatory requirements

  3. Meeting with the sponsor to discuss trial progress

  4. Reviewing marketing strategies for the investigational product

The correct answer is: Protecting the rights and well-being of human subjects, ensuring data accuracy, and compliance with the protocol and regulatory requirements

Trial monitoring is an essential aspect of clinical trials, as it helps to ensure the safety and integrity of the study. Option A is incorrect because while monitoring does involve tracking financial aspects of the trial, such as ensuring the budget is adhered to, it serves a much larger purpose. Option C is incorrect because while meetings with the sponsor may occur during trial monitoring, the primary purposes include protecting the rights and well-being of human subjects, ensuring data accuracy, and compliance with the protocol and regulatory requirements. Option D is incorrect because monitoring is not involved in reviewing marketing strategies for the investigational product; its focus is solely on the scientific and ethical aspects of the trial. This is why option B is the most accurate and complete answer.
