Meeting Summary
Presented on: June 18, 2024
This meeting was presented to the Bioethics Collaborative. The Bioethics Collaborative is a forum to propose, share, and discuss ethical challenges in multi-national clinical trials. Meetings convene individuals from academia, industry, patient/participant groups, ethics committees, government, and others.
Abstract: It is generally agreed that sponsors and other entities undertaking research in limited-resource settings incur certain duties of reciprocity. These obligations ensure that host communities are treated fairly and not exploited, given the burdens and risks of research undertaken by community members. However, the expectations, content, and limitations of these obligations are not defined. The next Bioethics Collaborative will be devoted to understanding and assessing different approaches to satisfying the ethical contorts of reciprocity for research undertaken in these settings.
