EU's New Regulation 536/2014 on Clinical Trials - Insights into Effective Clinical Trials

EU's New Regulation 536/2014 on Clinical Trials is designed to establish the safety and effectiveness of drugs and devices through rigorous testing. Join the webinar to explore the essential preliminary tests, standards, and guidelines necessary before a product can be trialed on human subjects in a tightly controlled environment.

Clinical trials play a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and improving healthcare outcomes. Through these carefully planned research studies, volunteers help uncover answers to critical health questions, paving the way for new treatments and advancements in patient care.

• Clinical trials are conducted according to a plan, called a protocol, which describes:
• The types of patients who may enter the study
• The schedules of tests and procedures
• The drug involved
• The dosages, or amount of the drug used by patient
• The length of the study
• What the researchers (sponsor) hope to learn from the study. All such trials are to be conducted under strick rules, such as this new EU Regulation.

During this webinar, we will delve into the 2022 EU regulatory requirements specifically focused on clinical trials, emphasizing drug-related trials. Our expert will guide you through the key aspects of the new rules, highlighting the importance of well-defined protocols to ensure the generation of valid and reliable data. We will explore the critical elements outlined in the protocols, including patient selection criteria, test schedules, drug administration details, study duration, and the intended research goals.
