The Clinical Trials Act was implemented on April 1, 2018 in response to cases of data manipulation and conflicts of interest in clinical research. While maintaining a balance between promoting and regulating clinical research, the Clinical Trials Act sets minimum rules on the relationships among actors(authorities, clinical researchers, certified review boards, pharmaceutical dealers etc.)and clarifies procedures for clinical research to improve its quality. We would like to continue to improve the environment for clinical research to ensure its reliability.
