Framework conditions for clinical studies involving vulnerable groups – conference on the Declaration of Helsinki revision process

Leopoldina
Meeting Announcement

In Germany, as a rule, clinical studies involve adults between the ages of 18 and 70. The World Medical Association’s “Declaration of Helsinki” policy statement defines ethical principles for medical research involving humans. The principles accord special protection to vulnerable groups, such as children, adolescents, and adults not capable of giving consent. Generally speaking, these groups are therefore not involved in clinical studies. In some cases, however, vulnerable groups could particularly benefit from participation in such studies. An international conference involving the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and the German Medical Association (BÄK), in cooperation with the World Medical Association (WMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA), and with support from the Bavarian Chamber of Physicians (Bayerische Landesärztekammer, BLÄK), will take place in Munich/Germany on Tuesday, 14 and Wednesday, 15 May and examine this contradiction.

Meeting Announcement

Since its establishment in 2021, the Bia-Echo Asia Centre for Reproductive Longevity & Equality (ACRLE) at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) has made tremendous headway, especially in uncovering the determinants of the reproductive health and life span in Asian women. As part of ACRLE’s work to raise awareness on the impact of reproductive ageing on women’s health, ACRLE held a two-day conference from 25 – 26 April, gathering experts from various disciplines to explore ‘The Art and Science of Reproductive Ageing’. The conference featured ten plenary sessions that delved into topics such as ovarian biology and ageing, ways to advance women’s reproductive health and lifespan. ACRLE is also intensifying efforts to build a strong science community and network to progress reproductive longevity research, and will be embarking on several major endeavours including the establishment of a Reproductive Research Network with Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory Limited, as well as working with local and overseas fertility centres to unravel biomarkers predictive of reproductive senescence and longevity.
