Alcon’s Research Commitments
Alcon's research revolves around integrity, quality, and good clinical practice.
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, recording, and reporting trials that involve the participation of human volunteers. GCP ensures that the rights, safety, and wellbeing of trial volunteers are protected and that clinical trial data are credible.
At Alcon, we make sure our employees, vendors, and research practitioners are held accountable to GCP.
Accuracy and completeness of data help the timely delivery of important information. Integrity in research builds trust.
At Alcon we practice ALCOA guidelines (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate) to maximize data integrity. We place strict safeguards on the data we collect and hold our employees and researchers to high ethical standards to protect the privacy of our volunteer participants.
The reliability of research results depends on data quality.
At Alcon, we develop best practices and implement standards to ensure data quality.
