EU Clinical Trials Regulation
The new EU Clinical Trials Regulation (EU-CTR) (Reg. (EU) No. 536/2014) will be implemented on 31 January 2022 with the aim to simplify and harmonize procedures for the submission, assessment, and supervision of clinical trials across the EU Member States.
The EU-CTR will allow sponsors to make a single clinical trial application (CTA) for all EU Member States where a given trial is intended to be conducted, via a centralized portal – the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).
This new process, while designed at encouraging the conduct of clinical studies across Europe will also represent a huge challenge for sponsors, particularly during the transition phase that will last until 31 January 2025.
