RED: Your Central Resource for Navigating the Clinical Study Regulatory & Ethical Submissions Requirements in Europe

Sailing through regulatory hurdles is one of the toughest challenges in multinational clinical research – The Regulatory and Ethical Database (RED) is here to clear the path and give your research the tools to cross borders. 

With this tool, you can find the relevant information to support your clinical research for various study types: Investigational Medicinal Product, Medicinal Device, and Other (for observational studies, cohort studies, etc). The results are available for a range of European countries. Instead of looking into countries one at a time, you may also compare two directly.
