New standard agreement for speeding up medical technology industry sponsored clinical
research launched
The Department of Health in partnership with the NHS, the Association of British
Healthcare Industries (ABHI) and the UK Health Departments in Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland today launched the model Clinical Investigation Agreement (mCIA)
for medical technology industry sponsored research carried out in NHS hospitals.
The mCIA is designed to simplify and therefore speed up the process for signing
off and initiating trials involving NHS patients in NHS hospitals. It removes any
need for either sponsors or hospitals to undertake further legal review of contracts
in response to another party proposing modifications. It is intended that the mCIA
is used routinely without modification by all medical technology industry sponsors
of contract clinical research in NHS hospitals in which NHS patients are recruited.
