Course Description
The European Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) 536/2014 is the legislation that harmonises regulatory processes and information of interventional clinical trials in Europe.To meet CTR requirements, entries in the European Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) are mandatory. Once the CTIS is launched (planned for 31 January 2022), it will be operational and the implementation of the CTR can start. All stakeholders need to know how to work according to the new rules (CTR) and use the CTIS.This course aims to provide an overview of mandatory CTR requirements and allow participants ready to implement them and be compliant with them.Note: This course is not intended to go into detail about the technical aspects of the CTIS, though it will provide references where to find resources on this topic. *This course is not a CTIS training as ECCRT does not have access to CTIS and cannot replicate the CTA processProgramme highlight
