On International #ClinicalTrials Day 2024 🔬 💊 , I want to take this opportunity to share a message with all clinical sponsors in the European Union: please, please, please be aware that you must ensure the transition of all trials expected to be ongoing after 30 January 2025 to the Clinical Trials Information System (#CTIS).   This step is essential to meet the requirements of the clinical trials regulation.   When transitioning your trial(s), you need to consider the time required for EU Member States to complete the evaluation procedure in CTIS. This can take up to three months. This means that immediate action is necessary. It is crucial to start planning the transition of your trials and to initiate the required steps without delay.   If you are worried that your ongoing clinical trials will be halted or ended during the transition to CTIS, you can be reassured that the system is designed to accommodate ongoing studies, ensuring continuity and minimising disruption.   If you need any assistance with this transition, the CTIS website provides an excellent resource (link in comments). It gives comprehensive information on how to carry out the transition, along with a wealth of dedicated training modules designed to guide you through the process.   Today, let me reaffirm our commitment to advancing medical research in the EU and ensuring the integrity and efficiency of our clinical trials. By transitioning to CTIS in a timely manner, we can continue to uphold the highest standards in clinical research and contribute to the development of safe and effective treatments.
