New contract agreement for medical technology trials
The Department of Health and the Association of the British Healthcare Industries (ABHI) launched a model Clinical Investigation Agreement (mCIA) to makes it easier for important medical devices like hip and knee replacements, pacemakers and stents to get approved patient trials underway.
The mCIA covers all medical technology trials in NHS hospitals that are funded by industry, eliminating the need for site-by-site reviews and local legal agreements to be drawn up before industry-sponsored trials could begin. Experience with its use will be reviewed after one year.
