Stringent regulatory agencies, like the European Medicines Agency

In recent years, the emphasis on diversity in clinical trials has become more prominent, reflecting the need for studies on more diverse populations to gather more accurate clinical findings. The lack of diversity in participants can create an obstacle to understanding the safety and efficacy of new medicines, making it more difficult to understand the

The journey from discovering a promising compound to its approval as a safe, effective drug is challenging and costly, involving rigorous clinical trials to ensure public health and patient safety. The European Union responds to the need for speed and efficiency by transforming how clinical trials are conducted. The Accelerating Clinical Trials in the EU

Since 2004, clinical trials (CTs) in the European Union (EU) have been governed by the Clinical Trials Directive (CTD) 2001/20/EC. This directive aims to harmonize the administrative requirements governing CTs across EU Member States. Each Member State (MS) has its own set of procedures, requirements, and timelines for CT operations. However, there was a need
