What’s Our First Priority in Clinical Research: Generating Data or Protecting Participants?

Please join us on January 22, 2025 for a live DIA Direct Webinar as we debate the primary goal while conducting clinical trials. Is it generating data or protecting participants?

Overview

When we conduct clinical trials, what should our primary goal be? Is it making sure that we ensure the safety and protection of research participants and optimize their outcomes? Or, as others argue, is it the collection of scientifically solid data that we can use to make evidence-based medical decisions for future patients- even if that means individual research participants may not have the best outcomes?

In this webinar, we’ll talk to guest Dr. Jerry Menikoff, former director of the HHS Office of Human Research Protections (which oversees all federally funded human research in the US), about the debate raised by his recent editorial in JAMA entitled “Protecting Participants is not the Top Priority in Clinical Research”. We’ll explore the different views and perspectives, and how this ethical debate interacts with the movement toward increasing access to clinical trial participation “as a care option”. .

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your professional skills and knowledge. Join us live on Wednesday January 22, 2025, from 11:00 AM EST-12:00 PM EST for this exclusive DIA Direct webinar.
