Rights of Participants in Medical Research: Withdrawing, Confidentiality, and Compensation

Books – Hisham Abdel Jalil Friday, July 28, 2023 07:00 AM

The law regulating clinical medical research granted the subject of rights a number of rights, the most prominent of which is the right to withdraw from medical research whenever he wants and without obligating him to give any reasons for that, provided that the principal researcher provides his insights into the medical damages resulting from his withdrawal.

Also among the rights provided for in the law is not to disclose his identity or any of his data except after fulfilling the conditions of the scientific justification approved by the relevant institutional committee and approved by the Supreme Council and with the written consent of the respondent or his legal representative, in addition to his right to obtain a copy of the informed consent.

Excluded from the request for the consent of the respondent in this case are the cases that are required for the proper application of medical research and that are described in the Egyptian laws and regulations regulating the circulation of data and its confidentiality, without prejudice to the authority of the investigation authorities or the competent court to request the disclosure of this data due to the necessity required by the investigation or trial procedures.

All of this is as detailed in the executive regulations of this law.

It is also prohibited to involve the respondent in any other medical research before the end of the period specified in the protocol of the previous research plan in which he participated, and it is prohibited to motivate the respondent to participate in any medical research by giving him cash or in-kind rewards or benefits.

Excluded from the foregoing is what is granted to the respondent in return for the consequences of participating in medical research, such as transportation expenses to and from the research institution, or absenteeism from working hours required by medical research, provided that this is determined in advance and with complete transparency in the informed consent form submitted to the competent institutional committee and its approval thereof.

All of this is in the manner indicated by the executive regulations of this law.
