[Quality requirements for investigational medicinal products. The state authorities' point of view]

Abstract:

The relevant authorities must assess the quality of investigational medicinal products based mainly on the parameters “safety of the persons subject to a clinical study”, “adequate reproduction of the drug model defined in the clinical trial authorization”, and “reliability of documentation”. Of these, the safety of the people subject to a clinical study is of predominant importance. As a consequence, this is the main focus of the authorities. Reliability and integrity of the documentation on investigational medicinal products are important for the assessment of a manufacturing license application. Therefore, this is also subject to the relevant authorities.

...to influence multinational corporations effectively, the efforts of governments will have to be complemented by others, notably the many voluntary organisations that have shown they can effectively represent society’s public-health interests…
A small group known as Healthy Skepticism; formerly the Medical Lobby for Appropriate Marketing) has consistently and insistently drawn the attention of producers to promotional malpractice, calling for (and often securing) correction. These organisations [Healthy Skepticism, Médecins Sans Frontières and Health Action International] are small, but they are capable; they bear malice towards no one, and they are inscrutably honest. If industry is indeed persuaded to face up to its social responsibilities in the coming years it may well be because of these associations and others like them.
