“Ethical Challenges and Opportunities in Clinical Research in the post-COVID Era”
After witnessing extraordinary scientific and regulatory efforts to speed the development of and access to new COVID-19 interventions including vaccines, tests, and drugs, patients facing other serious diseases have begun to ask “where’s our Operation Warp Speed?” Does the accelerated research response to COVID-19 offer lessons, in both its successes and failures, for the future of research? Should speed be the most important value for those facing terminal illness or grave disability? And if subjects are now partners or participants how do and ought their views shape the future of clinical research in a post-pandemic world?
