Course Description

This course has been revised to capture the most recent developments and focuses on the current and future legal requirements of performing clinical trials with medicinal products in Belgium.

The Belgian law of 7 May 2004 on experiments on humans implements the European directive 2001/20/EC is currently valid. A number of Royal Decrees and circular letters have also been published, which detail the practical implementation of the law.
