Clinical trials are heavily regulated because they are affected by Healthcare Regulations. As a new Compliance Officer, you receive an anonymous report that clinical trials are taking place at your hospital, without proper consent from patients. Some patients are receiving placebos (no actual treatment), without being informed. Make a list of any governing agencies and their roles in Clinical Trials. Use the Internet to find some examples of Clinical Trials. Discuss your findings and defend why you chose the governing agencies and examples. For your response, choose a post that exhibits a differing opinion from your own.PEER Clinical trials are research studies that are aimed at evaluating new medical, surgical and behavioral interventions and how well the intervention works for patients. The Food and Drug Administration (an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services) is the primary governing agency in the U.S. The FDA produces clinical trial guidelines on conduct in order to:1) Assure the safety of trial participants2) Maintain compliance with good clinical practices3) Minimize risk to trial integrityFDA regulations govern elements such as:*What must be communicated to patients*Consent requirements*The data collection process*Who can conduct clinical trials*Requirements for clinical trial study sites*How the process will be monitored*The importance of patient privacy*Additional protections for childrenClinical Trial Examples:At any given time the Mayo Clinic Health System (located within 2 hours of my home) has roughly 12,000 studies underway involving a wide range of interventions. The clinical trials currently include studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Remdesivir in participants with moderate and severe COVID-19, as well as several other COVID-related studies such as pregnancy and how COVID can be passed from mother to child and also how many healthcare workers develop antibodies against the virus over a 6-month period.
