RDTF position on Supporting Clinical Trials During the COVID19 Pandemic

Clinical trials remain critical in the path to bringing innovative drugs, vaccines and therapies to consumers and patients in Australia in a safe and regulated manner. Given the anticipated growing impact of COVID-19 on the health system and a range of services, Clinical Trial Sponsors are working with their doctors and nurses to prepare for disruption to normal research activities due to this pandemic. At all times, the safety and continuity of care of clinical trial participants is the key concern of Clinical Trial Sponsors and clinical trial centre staff.

Clinical Trial Sponsors are committed to the delivery of clinical research and will work to ensure that the clinical trials already underway are managed as well as can be during the pandemic. Clinical Trial Sponsors are working closely with clinical trial centre staff to understand what additional support can be provided to overcome the challenges that are presenting due to COVID-19 disruptions.
