State Agency of Medicines (SAM) of Republic of Latvia issued guidelines on clinical research under COVID-19.

Meditrial manages several studies in Latvia and has direct connections with Investigators, hospitals and local Ethics Committees. Please feel free to contact us for advice and support.

Any changes in the trial conduct in relation to COVID-19 should be reported to SAM. Every deviation from normal practice should be appropriately documented.

Any amendment of an urgent safety measure may be implemented without obtaining permission form the SAM, although it should be still reported.

SAM is committed to process any applications related to COVID-19 via fast-track procedure.

Patients visit should be reduced, conducted remotely or in different site whenever COVID-19 risk will arise. This may cause changes to the trial schedule.

Monitoring visits can be replaced with remote data review.
