Course Description:
The concept of Clinical Trial Ethics is more than just following the rules set by a given regulatory body or institutional review board. A large proportion of the appropriate ethical environment surrounding the conduct of a clinical trial involves a steadfast resolve to view what we are doing from the perspective of the person who has volunteered to participate in the clinical trial.
Examples of situations where ethical considerations should be applied include ethical issues associated with the globalization of clinical trials, the cultural differences among study volunteers, the differences in the availability of routine clinical care, the nuances surrounding the truthful, accurate and complete reporting of clinical outcomes and adverse events, the practical issues related to changes in regulatory requirements, etc. The use of adaptive clinical trial designs and novel strategies for product development are examples of processes where ethical considerations should be discussed up front but these grey areas may be left untouched for lack of a clear process to document the considerations of the ethical risks.
This course will use case studies to aid in the development and understanding of the language of clinical trial ethics. We will explore the use of specific tools to improve ethical sensitivity and decision making. We will consider how to develop strong core competencies in individual ethical leadership which may be especially helpful when the individual is trying to influence the decisions and actions of others (without whining or feeling their job is at risk). Participants will learn systematic ways to approach difficult ethical issues. We will discuss how to incorporate solid ethical principles when discussing ethical issues and testing ethical decisions. Upon completion of this course attendees will have a set of pre-identified tools to use when working on ethical dilemmas in the clinical trial field.
