Course Description

Belgium has taken the first preparative steps to be ready for the application of the European Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 by issuing a new clinical trials law. This law sets the new rules as well as paving the way for the legal basis of pilot studies in Belgium before the mandatory European Clinical Trials Regulation becomes effective. Many imperative changes are ahead, notably regarding procedures and ethics committees.

This webinar is designed for professionals who need to know the new Belgian Clinical Trials law of 2017. All the elements of the Law are presented in a clear-cut way. Specifics of the involved competent authorities, of independent ethics committees, of new submission procedures and timelines, of appeal after rejection of a clinical trial, of Phase I trials and centre requirements and of possible penalties. Adaptations to the current law of 07 May 2004 will be clarified and will enable you to get a clear view on what is applicable now and what is to be done in the future. In addition, procedures of the pilot studies are presented.

The information will help you to understand upcoming Royal Decrees and to avoid missing out on mandatory and specific Belgian legal aspects of clinical trials and of pilot studies conducted in Belgium.

Prior knowledge of the Belgian Clinical Research law dated 7th May 2004 is required.
