    DRAFT NEW DRUGS AND CLINICAL TRIALS RULES, 2018 SUBMISSIONS TO THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE Dhvani Mehta Nivedita Saksena March, 2018 www.vidhilegalpolicy.in This Report is an independent, non-commissioned piece of academic work.

Nivedita Saksena is a Research Fellow at the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy working in the Vidhi Aid initiative. © Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a notification dated February 1, 2018, the Central Government invited comments on the draft New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2018 (“Rules”). These Rules regulate the conduct of clinical trials (including clinical trial related injury and compensation), bioavailability and bioequivalence studies, and the import and manufacture of new drugs. They also govern the functioning of several entities such as the Central Licensing Authority, Ethics Committees and Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Study Centres. These entities and processes are currently governed by scattered provisions contained in the current Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, several gazette notifications, circulars and office orders. These Rules are a welcome step, and will help to consolidate and streamline the provisions under these different instruments. They will also increase regulatory certainty. However, certain issues must be addressed before these Rules can be effectively implemented.

  • Synthesizing Existing Evidence to Design Future Trials: Survey of Methodologists in Europe
    Synthesizing existing evidence to design future trials: survey of methodologists in Europe Adriani Nikolakopoulou1, Sven Trelle1,2, Alex J Sutton3, Matthias Egger1, Georgia Salanti1* 1Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine (ISPM), University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland 2Clinical Trials Unit, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland 3Department of Health Sciences, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK * Corresponding author 1 Abstract Background: The potential of network meta-analysis to inform the design of future studies is largely underutilised. A suggested framework for efficiently planning clinical trials based on a network of interventions has been termed conditional trial design and consists of three parts. The first part pertains mainly to interpretation of meta-analysis and addresses whether the existing evidence answers the research question. The second part of the framework bears upon how best to use the existing evidence to answer the research question, and the third part addresses how to use the existing evidence to plan future research. Methods: We conducted an online survey among trial statisticians, methodologists and users of evidence synthesis research to capture opinions about all parts of the conditional trial design framework and the practices among clinical researchers. Results: In total, 76 contacted researchers completed the survey. We found that the level of acceptance of network meta-analysis is low to moderate. Three out of four survey participants were willing to consider using evidence synthesis to design a future clinical trial and around half of the participants would give priority to such a trial design. The median rating of the frequency of using it was 0.41 on a scale from 0, which stands for never, to 1, which stands for always.
