Ethical compliance is the backbone of trustworthy clinical research. However, violations continue to occur, jeopardizing participant safety and data integrity. This article highlights key examples of ethical violations in clinical trials, outlines how clinical research professionals can detect them, and provides guidance on reporting procedures.
An Assessment of the Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence in Certification Exam Test Development
With recent integrations of artificial intelligence (AI) into many processes and workflows we touch on a day-to-day basis, it is imperative that ACRP and The Academy of Clinical Research Professionals (The Academy) investigate the use and utility of incorporating AI into the exam development process.
As digital health technologies and the biomarkers they track become increasingly valuable tools for providing insights into patients' health in real-world settings, the authors of a forthcoming special feature for ACRP's Clinical Researcher journal say we are witnessing a reshaping of how evidence is generated in clinical research across multiple dimensions.
Clinical research professionals operate in an environment of constant change. New regulations, evolving guidance, increasing enforcement activity, and emerging technologies continue to shape how research organizations manage compliance and protect research participants. Keeping up requires more than reviewing regulatory updates. It means learning from experienced compliance leaders, connecting with peers facing similar challenges, and gaining practical strategies that can be applied immediately.
In his August 20 ACRP Webinar on “Ethical Principles in Clinical Research,” presenter James Riddle, MSCE, CIP, CPIA, CRQM, Senior Vice President for Global Review Operations with Advarra, will explain how the Belmont Report has stood the test of time since its earliest days of formation to address ethical issues in human subject research in the 1970s, right up to the present.
