KEY POINTS
The system around the decision making of a patient’s enrolment and the evolving environment of clinical trials is charged with multiple challenges.
Steps to deal with the challenges
· Permitting clinical trials post risk benefit analysis favouring participating patients.
· Allowing the patients to have the autonomy to choose, right to discontinue or withdraw without loss of any benefits.
· Ensuring informed consent being obtained without coercing and post providing necessary information to participating patients
· Making new information on drug/treatment under investigation available to participating patients in real-time basis
· Mitigating the conflicts of interest through full disclosures.
· Ethical committees should work with investigators for potential harms with minimum risk.
· Identifying pertinent issues through patient advocacy groups and addressing them with ethical research mandates.
· Improving the quality of data so that it can be validated with utmost transparency of conduct of the trial.
