What Does CH Stand For?
CH stands for Clinical Hold
CH, or Clinical Hold, refers to a regulatory action taken by health authorities, such as the FDA, to temporarily suspend a clinical trial or study involving investigational drugs or therapies. This hold may be imposed due to safety concerns, unresolved issues related to trial design, participant protection, or insufficient regulatory compliance. During a Clinical Hold, the sponsor must address the identified issues and demonstrate that they have been resolved before the trial can resume.
