The steps to follow to create my project
This section provides an overview of the most important regulatory processes in the context of the development and submission of human research projects (including clinical trials and clinical trials with medical devices) to ethics committees (EC) and public health authorities .
Human research projects in Switzerland are subject to the obligations stipulated by international guidelines and federal regulations. These regulations assure the public that the rights, safety and well-being of participants are protected and that the data collected is reliable
Swiss regulations on human research projects respect the ethical principles described in several international guidelines, such as the Declaration of Helsinki of the World medical association, the international ethical guidelines for health research involving human subjects of the Council for International Organisations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) and the Good Clinical Practice of the International Council for Harmonisation of technical requirements for pharmaceuticals for human use (ICH), the latter being explicitly referred to in the Swiss legal texts.
