This session will explore how sponsors and HAs worked together to address these issues and continue efforts to develop medical products and the lessons learned from making those adaptations. The session will also consider adaptations that may be applicable to trials post-pandemic.

Learning Objectives

Describe how COVID-19 impacted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including examples of deviations from study protocols; Discuss how sponsors interacted with Health Authorities to maintain awareness of protocol deviations and receive guidance on planned modifications; Identify the best practices that were learned and how we can apply them to future trials.
