The Clinical Study Agreement serves as the primary legal instrument for establishing and governing clinical research relationships in Canada. It is essential when any organization wishes to conduct clinical trials or research studies involving human subjects within Canadian jurisdiction. The agreement ensures compliance with Health Canada regulations, the Food and Drugs Act, and provincial healthcare laws while incorporating international GCP standards. This document is crucial for protecting all parties' interests, ensuring proper study conduct, maintaining patient safety, and managing data privacy. It typically includes detailed provisions for study protocol compliance, financial arrangements, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and liability allocation, while addressing specific Canadian regulatory requirements for clinical research.
