Regulators from around the world have agreed three priority areas for cooperation on observational research during COVID-19. They will collaborate on pregnancy research, on medicines used in clinical practice and on vaccine safety and effectiveness monitoring.
High-quality observational research is an important complement to the evidence on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and treatments for COVID-19 generated in randomised clinical trials. It is critical in understanding the safety and effectiveness of medicines when used in clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Meeting participants agreed that global collaboration on observational studies of real-world data will help not only to contribute to the COVID-19 response but also to leave enduring legacy for future international observational research beyond the ongoing pandemic.
The meeting built upon the experience and knowledge gained from the first workshop on COVID-19 observational research held in April, which underlined the need and commitment by regulators to cooperate and improve information-sharing globally in relation to the research and development of treatments and vaccines against COVID-19. It had participants from more than 25 countries, representing 28 medicines regulatory authorities and experts from the World Health Organization.
