Do all services provided as part of a clinical trial require research ethics and governance review?

Jeremy Kenner et al. Intern Med J. 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Appropriate ethical oversight underpins the conduct of all clinical trials in Australia. In addition, clinical trials require a suitable approach to research governance in order to ensure that research is appropriately governed. However, such governance processes are often onerous and time-consuming and are not required when trial practices are more appropriately understood as standard of care clinical services.

Keywords: clinical trials; ethics; governance.
