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.
