| Short Description | The risks and benefits of research remain a central consideration in drug development, research design, review and regulation. It’s consequently a central concern within the new proposed EU Clinical Trial Regulations.Yet there is little evidence on which to build our judgments and found a balanced approach. Without evidence, risks are exaggerated and the benefits played down. Medical and drug development is undermined, researchers are cautious, monitors without clear and appropriate objectives and as importantly potential research participants ill- or un-informed. We all lose. There is therefore an urgent need for re-evaluation and a coordinated approach to resolve these problems. Our conference will explore the consequences of research, both harm and benefit and look how we might achieve a fair balance that promotes improvements in health care, new medicines without diminishing protection of the research participant. It will also explore the current proposal for an EU Clinical Trial Regulation and its consequences. |
