Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of QC in the management of
clinical trial data at Makerere University Johns Hopkins University (MUJHU) Health Care
Limited. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: - To examine the
effect of compliance with clinical trial requirements on the management of clinical trial
data in MUJHU Health Care Limited; To analyze the effect of an operational quality
management plan on the management of clinical trial data in MUJHU Health Care
Limited; and To establish the effect of quality control measures on the management of
clinical trial data in MUJHU Health Care Limited. This study used a cross sectional case
study design and employed both qualitative and quantitative data collection approaches
to address the different aspects of the research problem. Both purposive and random
samplings were used to select the respondents. The study employed both the
quantitative (semi-structured questionnaire) and qualitative (key informant interviews)
data collection methods. Data were analyzed using statistical methods such as
frequencies and percentages including Spearman correlation and coefficient of
determination and were presented in tabular form. Findings revealed that compliance
with clinical trial requirements had a significant but weak effect on the management of
clinical trial data. Operational quality management plan had a significant very strong
effect on the management of clinical trial data. Quality control measures had a significant
but moderate effect on the management of clinical trial data. It is recommended that
compliance with clinical trial requirements, operational quality management plan and
quality control measures should be improved for the better management of clinical trial
data in MUJHU Health Care Limited.
