FDA’s Definition of Data Integrity
- In a recent guidance document (here), FDA states, “…data integrity refers to the completeness,
consistency, and accuracy of data. Complete, consistent, and accurate data should be attributable,
legible, contemporaneously recorded, original or a true copy, and accurate”.
FDA is Targeting Data Integrity Compliance
- A study of Warning Letters issued in 2017 (here) determined that 68% had a data integrity component.
Key Questions from FDA Reviewers
- Can you prove to the Agency the data you collected in the past is the same data that is
part of your submission today? - Do you have evidence your data wasn’t accidentally or deliberately altered?
