Since 2013, the European Parliament and other European Union (EU) institutions have endorsed reforms of clinical trial regulations that would ensure greater transparency and accountability. However, implementation of these essential amendments is being hindered due to a lack of commitment from a number of key actors.

Join Health Action International and TranspariMED  for a public discussion on the EU Clinical Trial Regulation and how it contributes to greater transparency. We will try to find answers to the following questions:

  • How can we ensure that transparency is enforced?
  • How can relevant stakeholders best utilise open and transparent clinical trial data for the benefit of patients?
  • What role should be played by the EU institutions?
  • How would recent efforts aimed at achieving greater transparency in R&D data link to greater accountability for clinical trials?
