This session explores the evolution of transparency and disclosure regulations, including the newer role of plain language through the recent implementation of the European Union Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 (EU-CTR).

Through case studies and lessons learned, attendees will also learn about the challenges of estimating a primary completion dates, in addition to the complexities behind disclosure of innovative trial designs (like an Umbrella trial). Then, we will delve into a discussion on current industry guidelines and best practices related to plain language use in transparency and disclosure deliverables. Overall, this session aims to equip medical writers with a general understanding of current global clinical trial regulations related to transparency and disclosure commitments, including the invaluable use of plain language in driving patient-centric trial communications.
