The ICH E6 GCP standards apply to:

  1. Investigators, sponsors, and IRBs

  2. Research sponsors only

  3. Investigators only

  4. IRBs only

The correct answer is: Investigators, sponsors, and IRBs

ICH E6 GCP standards cover the requirements for Good Clinical Practice in all aspects of clinical trials, including design, conduct, monitoring, recording, and reporting. Therefore, the standards apply to all parties involved in the research process, including investigators, sponsors, and IRBs. Option B, stating that the standards apply to research sponsors only, is incorrect as it does not encompass the other parties involved in the research process. Option C, stating that the standards apply to investigators only, is also incorrect as it does not include the responsibilities of sponsors and IRBs. Option D, stating that the standards apply to IRBs only, is incorrect as it does not cover the responsibilities of investigators and sponsors in ensuring Good Clinical Practice. Thus, option A is the correct answer as it includes all the parties involved in the research process.
