Prepares and sends to the Ethics Council and an expert institution (FGBU "NC ESMP" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation) a task for conducting appropriate examinations. The expert examination and the preparation by the expert commission and the Ethics Council of conclusions on the possibility or impossibility of conducting such a clinical trial and the submission of these conclusions to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation are carried out within a period not exceeding 30 working days from the date of receipt of the assignment.

All authorized clinical trials are entered in the Register of approved clinical trials and are available on the portal http://grls.rosminzdrav.ru.

Roszdravnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare http://www.roszdravnadzor.ru) supervises the conduct of clinical trials. According to the order of the Ministry of Health of September 29, 2011, the Administrative Regulations of Roszdravnadzor were approved for the implementation of the state function of supervising the conduct of preclinical and clinical trials of medicines intended for medical use.

Roszdravnadzor carries out:

Current and emergency checks of legal entities engaged in
organizing and directly conducting
clinical and preclinical studies;

Obtaining and analyzing data provided by departments
Roszdravnadzor, on clinical trials.

Authorized persons of Roszdravnadzor, when conducting an inspection, are also obliged to:

Do not prevent the head or authorized representative of a certain entity that organizes the study from being present during the inspection and providing explanations on issues regarding the subject of the inspection;

Based on the facts of detected violations, take measures proportional to the severity of the violations, their possible threat to the life and health of people;

Do not request from the subjects conducting the organization of research documents, the submission of which is not provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, equally as well as documents that can be obtained from other state control bodies.

A clinical trial can only be conducted in a research center accredited by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. There is a list of accredited centers, which is systematically supplemented and changed. The current list of accredited research centers, as well as orders of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on accreditation of medical organizations for the right to conduct clinical trials are available on the portal http://grls.rosminzdrav.ru

After completion of the clinical trial, the applicant submits a report with the results of the clinical trial to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation within a period not exceeding 3 months from the date of its completion.

More details can be found in the manual. "Clinical Research Management".

The guide consists of eight Sections.

Before allowing implementation medical devices are assigned to clinical trials of drugs. The process consists of the following steps:

  1. Study. Healthy volunteers are selected, the pharmacology of the drug and its effect on the human body are studied. The results allow you to determine what developments will be required in the future.
  2. Working with sick participants. After establishing the fact of the safety of the drug, it is tested on people with characteristic diseases, syndromes. It is determined how effective the remedy is, how it helps.
  3. Establishment adverse reactions. At this stage, the therapeutic value of the drug is determined.
  4. Indications and dosage. It is determined how long you can take the medicine, in what quantity, for what symptoms.

The GlobalPharma Clinical Research Center has extensive experience in conducting drug testing and detailed study.

What is offered to clients?

Cooperation is based on an agreement signed by both parties. The agreement confirms that the participants are not against conducting clinical trials. After the terms of the procedure are discussed, the design of clinical trials of the effectiveness of drugs. The contract research organization offers:

  1. Development of a complete package of documentation required for conducting clinical trials.
  2. Development of detailed argumentation, calculation, sampling.
  3. Dossier preparation, submission of documents to the Ministry of Health.
  4. Submission of documentation to the Ministry of Health, obtaining an expert opinion.
  5. Formation of the final package of documentation, on the basis of which the registration dossier will be compiled.

Clinical trials in Moscow are carried out after obtaining permission from the Russian Ministry of Health. Employees will prepare the center, submit a request to the Environmental Control Laboratory, process the data, and analyze the information.

Dear Colleagues, based on the results of the round table, I would like to touch upon the topic of providing patients with wider access to information about ongoing clinical trials.

From my experience in a clinic, a pharmaceutical company and in the Regulatory Authority of our country, not every potential patient who can participate in clinical trials is aware of ongoing studies. It almost always comes as a surprise to our patients when their physician offers to participate in a clinical trial (CT), while changing their previous treatment of the disease to an experimental one.

Patients and other members of the public can greatly benefit from global clinical trials.

For some, participation in CI can save a life. The WHO has released rules requiring pharmaceutical companies and other companies (CROs) conducting research to disclose 20 data sets when registering clinical trials they plan to start.

Primary CT registries already exist in developed and developing countries, which are properly designed (based on the requirements of WHO and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)):

Australian and New Zealand CI registry

Brazilian CI registry

China CI Register

CI registry of India

Cuban State Register of Clinical Trials

EU Clinical Trials Register

German Clinical Trials Register

Iranian Clinical Trials Registry

CI Register of Japan

Register of CI of the Netherlands

Pan African Registry of Clinical Trials

CI registry of Sri Lanka

All CI professionals know that all new drugs must be tested in human clinical trials, testing safety and efficacy.

But those lethal cases that occur during international clinical trials could be avoided by allowing everyone to get access to the history of testing a particular drug. Previously, when patients were included in clinical trials, no information was provided on the tragic cases of the use of a new drug (PM).

It is in part to prevent such violations of patient rights that the WHO established the Global Network of Clinical Trials Registries (ICTRP)

Web search based on the ICTRP platform is available to the general public.

Trials registered in specific WHO Primary Registries can be searched in the following languages:

Chinese

Dutch

German

Japanese

Korean

Persian

Anyone can directly contact WHO staff for clarification or assistance in working with the CT Registry Platform at:

World Health Organization

[email protected]

The main goal of the network, known as the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, is to increase transparency by requiring any company or institution conducting clinical trials of a drug to record how this will be done.

Companies or other institutions that organize clinical trials will be required to disclose the 20 items that describe the clinical trial process in the form of standardized summaries. Not everyone is happy with this commitment.

There is a great deal of reluctance on the part of the pharmaceutical industry regarding full disclosure. The industry is well aware of the negative recent cases of companies withholding negative research results that have sparked public outrage.

Since September 2005, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has refused to publish trial results that have not been published in the CT Registry. The publication of research results in these journals is an important step towards obtaining FDA approval for new drugs.

WHO initiatives aim to bring together participating CT registries around the world into one global network. This will provide a single point of access to the information they store and a web-based search platform from which members of the public can obtain basic information about ongoing and completed clinical trials, including study contact details.

The goal is to increase transparency and accountability on the part of companies and institutions conducting clinical trials and, in turn, to increase public trust and confidence in the credibility of the new drug company.

There are a huge number of new targeted therapy avenues in preclinical and early clinical cancer trials. Patients with resistant cancer often seek these trials online as their last and only chance.

The registries for ongoing clinical trials are often inaccurate and incomplete to date. For English-speaking patients, for example, there is a resource for oncology patients, EmergingMed.com, where you can put your profile in the system and the search engine will tend to match your CI search direction now and in the future. It's very simple and very effective.

For example, a patient with leukemia who has begun to develop resistance to Glivec began searching the CT database for clinicians at Clinicaltrials.gov. It was there that he discovered that he was currently undergoing a clinical trial for his illness in Canada.

He boarded a plane and when he arrived in Canada, he was informed by one of the researchers that an identical study was being conducted in his home city, Rome. Italy does not have a CI Register. The man did not have the opportunity to know what was happening on the threshold of his house.

The 20 items that will have to be submitted when registering clinical trials in the Primary Registry:

Primary Registration Name and Unique Identification Number

Date of registration in the primary Register of clinical trials:

Secondary ID: other identification numbers and issuance of information to authorities

Source of financial or material support for CI

General sponsor: person, organization, group or other legal entity responsible for the trial

Secondary sponsors:

Contact for general inquiries

Contact for scientific inquiries:

Public Title: Intended for the lay public in plain language.

scientific name this study as specified in the protocol

Patient recruitment countries

Nosology of diseases or conditions to be studied

Interventions

Key inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants, including age and gender

Study type

Date of recruitment of the first participant

Target sample size

Enrollment status (pending, currently enrolling, or closed)

Major Secondary Outcomes

In Ukraine, the Primary CT Registry has not yet been created in a language accessible to patients. We hope that in the near future the Regulatory Authorities of our country will pay attention to the need to inform the public about the clinical trials conducted in Ukraine.

Sincerely, Evgeniy Zadorin, Candidate of Medical Sciences.
