Specification for Quality Control in Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Trials(GB/T 47336-2026) is the first national standard in the field of clinical research on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), aims to address the core issue that the quality shortcomings of current TCM clinical research restrict the transformation of achievements and international recognition. Through the interpretation of the core contents of this standard, including its scope of application, graded quality control system, TCM-specific quality control requirements, implementation and responsible entities, responsibilities of quality control personnel, formulation of quality control plans, critical nodes of quality control, and quality control archive management, it is believed that the promotion and implementation of this standard are of great significance for improving the standard system of TCM clinical research, enhancing research quality, optimizing the quality management model, and promoting the internationalization process of TCM. Meanwhile, the implementation paths for the standard are discussed, including carrying out pilot applications in institutions, establishing publicity, implementation, and training mechanisms, encouraging multi-party collaborative supervision, and setting up implementation feedback mechanisms. On this basis, the challenges that may be encountered during implementation, such as resource input pressure, difficulties in implementing TCM-specific quality control, and a relative shortage of interdisciplinary composite talents, are sorted out, and corresponding strategies are proposed, which can provide references for relevant researchers and practitioners.

Objective To understand the current situation of quality management and implementation of risk-based quality management in clinical trial institutions.Methods In the form of questionnaires,Questionnaire Star was used to create the questionnaire,which was sent to clinical trial organisations in all provinces and cities to fill in through emails and institutional WeChat groups.Results The questionnaire results from 123 clinical trial institutions from 25 provinces were included for analysis.The quality management status was as follows:104(84.6%)institutions of the main quality management mode were the internal quality control by GCP department.On average,each institution had 3、4 full-time staff for quality management,with an average of 1 full-time staff to manage 16.8 projects and 10.9 specialties.In the last three years,65(52.8%)institutions conducted training for researchers 2-3 times/year.Ninety-five(77.2%)institutions had established a clinical trial funding allocation system.Forty-nine(39.2%)institutions had established GCP informatization management system and 44(35.2%)institutions had established risk-based quality management model.In the case of coordination between the clinical trial institution and the sponsor,47(41.2%)institutions did not not aware of the sponsor's/CRO's quality management plan in their collaboration with the sponsor.Conclusion The surveyed institutions have weaknesses,such as insufficient dedicated personnel for quality management,low utilization rate of GCP information systems.The collaborative capacity between clinical trial institutions and sponsors needs to be improved,and the implementation rate of risk-based quality management is also low.
