This "plan" is to ensure the safety of participating subjects and to ensure the validity and integrity of the data. Safety monitoring is mandated in 21 CFR 312.50, 312.56, and 600.80 for drugs and biologics and 21 CFR 812.40 and 812.46 for devices. Depending on the nature of the test agent, the vulnerability of the study population, the length of the study, or the number of sites conducting the clinical study.
