Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled "Considerations for the Conduct of Clinical Trials of Medical Products During Major Disruptions Due to Disasters and Public Health Emergencies." This guidance recommends approaches that sponsors of clinical trials of medical products can consider when there is a major disruption to clinical trial conduct and operations due to disasters or public health emergencies, which can include but are not limited to hurricanes, earthquakes, military conflicts, infectious disease outbreaks, or bioterrorist attacks. The appendix to this guidance further explains those approaches by providing answers to questions that the Agency has received about conducting clinical trials during major disruptions.
