When we conduct clinical trials, what should our primary goal be? Is it making sure that we ensure the safety and protection of research participants and optimize their outcomes? Or, as others argue, is the primary objective to collect scientifically sound data that can drive evidence-based medical decisions for future patients - even if that means individual research participants may not always have the best outcomes? 

In this DIA Direct on-demand webinar, Dr. Jerry Menikoff, former Director of the Office of Human Research Protections, US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (which oversees all HHS-funded human research in the US), discusses the thought-provoking debate raised by his recent editorial in JAMA entitled “Protecting Participants is not the Top Priority in Clinical Research.” We’ll explore the ethical complexities, diverse perspectives, and the implications of this debate on the growing movement to expland clinical trial participation as a care option.
