WHO launches new clinical trials guidance – What do I need to know?

WHO and The Global Health Network are convening a global event to present the key aspects of the recent publication  “WHO guidance for best practices for clinical trials“, launched in September 2024.

Date: December 13, 2024

Time: 2 pm CET

Location: online. Live translation will be available.

For the first time, there is now global guidance applicable to design and conduct of all clinical trials (whether or not they include investigational products), also with relevance to observational studies.

Key areas of focus include embedding research into health systems, developing sustained networks of continuously active clinical researchers, greater inclusivity of diverse population groups, the centrality of the need for interaction between patient/community groups and researchers in the trial life cycle, simplifying what can be excessively complex and uncoordinated clinical trial approval processes involving many bodies, and ensuring a risk-based, proportionate approach to design, data collection, oversight and inspection.
