Versions of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) used throughout the duration of a study/trial need to be maintained. For Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Sponsored studies we recommend that in place of printing all the SOPs relating to your study, a 'Note to File' signposting the location of the relevant Sponsor SOP is added to the SOP section of your Trial Master File (TMF) or Investigator Site File (ISF). A copy of the Note to File is available below
Note to File regarding SOP location (PDF, 113kb)

The definitive list of SOPs, including their versions and effective dates is maintained by the Sponsor and is available upon request, please email rgosponsor@le.ac.uk.
