Targeted stakeholders
Contributions are invited from all stakeholders related to clinical trials. Stakeholders who are not established within the European Union are equally invited to comment.
Objective of the consultation
The Clinical Trials Directive provides a regime of authorisation of the NCA, notification of substantial amendments, and declaration of the end of the trial, and exhaustively harmonises these aspects. The Commission is under an obligation to draw up detailed guidance to ensure that the format and content of the request for authorisation of a clinical trial are harmonised. A draft revision of the existing detailed guidance is being submitted for public consultation.
