Reconciling Research and Treatment: Seeking Answers & Saving Lives
October 16, 2020
9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
The COVID-19 pandemic poses profound ethical, legal, and social challenges to researchers, clinicians, legal professionals, and communities. This webinar will focus on how to conduct research on the efficacy and safety of medical interventions while also meeting the pressing clinical needs of COVID patients.
Leading experts will tackle pressing controversies, such as how to reconcile the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of convalescent plasma for COVID patients with the need for clinical trials. Past pandemics like the Ebola crisis have led to recommendations on how to balance the need for research with caring for affected patients. This webinar will analyze these issues in the context of COVID-19.
