Europe streamlines access to clinical trial information
The Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS), managed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), is a single entry point for the submission and assessment of clinical trial applications in the EU for trial sponsors and regulators. It includes a searchable public database for healthcare professionals, patients and the general public to provide a high level of transparency and ensure the flow of information between sponsors, EU and European Economic Area (EEA) countries, and the European Commission.
Recently, in order to streamline access to clinical trial information in the EU, a new version of CTIS has been updated. At the same time, a balance is struck between transparency and protection of confidential business information, and it is anticipated that additional functionality will be added to the portal over the coming months to improve its usability.
