Pharmaceutical / medical device companies, especially those conducting international, multi- centered clinical studies, are compelled to deal with a number of challenges during the clinical study. This is especially the case if the results of the studies will be part of the registration file submitted to the FDA in the USA, the EMA in Europe and/or the Israeli Ministry of Health.

• Amongst these challenges are choosing a CRO and CRAs that are to ensure that: the study will be of high quality according to the requirements of the health authorities while maintaining the rights of the participants/patients and choosing investigators experienced in conducting clinical studies in Israel according to the GCP.
• Training the investigator and his staff to fully comply with the requirements of the study protocol and the GCP guidelines is an essential step in ensuring the success of the study.
• One of the keys for complete compliance of the study protocol is regularly developing and maintaining the professional knowledge of the staff conducting the study in the hospital and the community in order to confirm that the study is conducted properly according to the local GCP guidelines.
• Sometimes, a lack of knowledge and experience interferes and may lead to unnecessary expenses and not accomplishing the goals of the study.
• Preparing and submitting a request for the approval of a clinical study to the Helsinki committee in a medical institute or to the Ministry of Health requires deep familiarity with the regulatory requirements in order to enable conducting a clinical study in Israel.
• Pharmaceutical/medical device companies are required to translate the consent form in a professional medical manner into Hebrew/Arabic/Russian/English for the participants of the study.
• During the process of conducting a medical study, monitoring suppliers and service providers is required.
• During the process of conducting a medical study, close coordination between the initiator, the investigator and his staff, and the patients is required.
• Monitoring, reporting and documenting side effects and any other safety information are the basis of every clinical study and requires deep familiarity with the requirements of the health authorities.
