Abstract
The new Regulation (EU) No. 536/2014 for clinical trials of medicinal products for human is part of a European regulatory framework in which the European Commission has wished to give a strong impetus to scientific research and industrial progress. It is a new regulation that fills a series of regulatory gaps in the Clinical Trials through the creation of a uniform framework for the authorization of clinical trials by all interested Member States with a single assessment of the results. The Regulation thus facilitates cross-border cooperation to make the clinical tests wider and encourage the development of special treatments, for example for rare diseases, but above all streamlines the rules on clinical trials across European Union (EU), introducing simplified rules for experimentation so-called 'low level of intervention', on which much has been discussed and still arouses concern, providing for authorized medicines or used off-label in the presence of scientific evidence published on efficacy and safety and to benefit from they will be mainly the pediatric and oncological therapeutic areas. The applications and any communication will be submitted paperlessly via a new electronic EU portal. The complex processing procedures and shorter time limits are to be stressed in comparison to the previously valid regulations. This is a major challenge for all stakeholders, but on the other hand it should contribute to the future role of the EU in the development of innovative medicines.
