What is Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and how does it differ from GCP and GMP in regulatory contexts?

GLP focuses on the quality and integrity of nonclinical laboratory safety studies, ensuring that planning, conduct, data collection, reporting, and archiving are standardized so regulatory submissions are reliable. GCP governs clinical studies with human participants, emphasizing protection of subjects, ethical conduct, and the reliability and integrity of trial data. GMP covers manufacturing quality, addressing facilities, equipment, personnel, processes, quality systems, and batch release to ensure drug products are consistently produced to quality standards. The best choice aligns with these roles: GLP for nonclinical lab testing, GCP for clinical studies, and GMP for manufacturing quality. The other options mix up domains (clinical sites or advertising with GLP/GCP), or claim GLP and GCP are the same, or that GMP isn’t related to drug manufacturing.
