Thank you for sharing your views on our clinical trials guidance
Our survey inviting feedback on our guidance to accompany the updated clinical trials regulations is now closed.
We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and comments on both the published guidance and an earlier draft version.
In total, more than 900 comments were submitted. Your feedback will help to shape our final guidance and make sure it’s simple, clear and easy to follow for researchers, sponsors and everyone involved in setting up and conducting clinical trials.
We plan to publish our final guidance on the HRA website in the next few weeks.
The guidance should be used to update your processes and policies in advance of the amended regulations coming into effect on 28 April 2026.
We’ll let you know once the guidance is available.

 Join our research transparency event on sharing results with participants
We're holding an online event on Thursday 2 October to support researchers to provide good quality feedback to participants.
Sharing results with participants is fundamental to ethical research practice but is often overlooked, leading to low morale and lower participation.
However, this will soon become legislation, along with other research transparency requirements, as part of the amended clinical trials regulations.
The webinar will cover everything you need to know about the new legal requirements, and we'll hear from the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit at University College London and the National Institute for Health and Care Research about what good practice looks like.
