Clinical Research Guideline

Home / Clinical Research Guideline

The “Guidelines for Responsible Conduct of Clinical Studies and Trials” advocates and describes the best practice in research for researchers and institutions, promotes integrity in research and explains what is expected from researchers, and assists researchers, administrators and the community on how to manage breaches from best research practice. It is addressed not only to researchers, but also to ethics review committees, investigational institutes, pharmaceutical manufacturers, sponsors of research drug regulatory authorities, the general public and those who have interest in clinical trials in Oman. This guideline not only serves the interests of the parties actively involved in the research process, but also protects the rights and safety of subjects, including patients, and ensures the investigations are directed to the advancement of public objectives of citizens.
