Join WHO’s Chief Scientist, Jeremy Farrar as he presents this milestone in clinical research, followed by a detailed overview from WHO's Research for Health Senior Advisor, Vasee Moorthy. This session will highlight key aspects of the guidance, including embedding research within health systems, fostering diverse, active clinical research networks, and prioritizing community interaction across the trial lifecycle.
Participants will learn how the guidance simplifies the often-complex clinical trial approval processes and promotes a risk-based, proportionate approach to trial design and data oversight. A Q&A session will follow, offering an opportunity for deeper engagement with WHO experts.
The Global Health Network is a WHO collaborating Centre for research information sharing and capacity development.
