CRIGH aims to optimise clinical research programmes, develop global standards on clinical research, promote the take-up of innovative methodology and technologies, and encourage international cooperation to rapidly and efficiently respond to global health challenges
This paper presents the findings of a survey to understand differences in ethics review systems, and recommends ways to overcome obstacles and facilitate ethical, international, collaborative health research and clinical trials.
This work was led by the CRIGH Research Bioethics project, co-chaired by the Council on Health Research for Development (COHRED), National Cancer Center Japan, and National Institutes of Health.
Understanding and measuring implementation processes is a key challenge for implementation
researchers. This study draws on Normalization Process Theory (NPT) to develop an instrument that can be applied to assess, monitor or measure factors likely to affect normalization from the perspective of implementation participants.
ECRIN, the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network, has launched the Covid-19 Marketplace. This new, online tool aims to facilitate and promote collaboration by providing access to planned and ongoing clinical trials, and to share trial ideas and questions in order to enable clinical researchers interested in the same topic to reach out and join forces.
The need for safe and effective COVID-19 treatments requires the capacity to conduct multinational clinical trials to test and compare existing and new therapies and vaccines. In light of this, the OECD published a Policy Response on 4 August 2020: “Greater harmonisation of clinical trial regulations would help the fight against COVID-19”.
The CRIGH project on clinical data management will be presented at the DIA Japan Annual Meeting 2019, which will be held from 10 to 12 November in Tokyo.
Since it was launched in 2009, the World Health Summit has brought together stakeholders and decision-makers from every field in the healthcare spectrum, providing a forum for exchange with experts from academia, industry, politics and civil society.
