The National Ethics Committee for clinical trials of Public Research Bodies and other National Public Institutions
The National Ethics Committee (CEN) for clinical trials of public research bodies (EPR) and other national public institutions settled at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità - ISS (the Italian National Institute of Health, Italy) on March 23, 2022. The CEN intervenes intervenes in the evaluation of disease registers, health surveillance, clinical, observational, diagnostic and public health studies, studies with medical devices and with the use of human biological material, studies with implications of environmental ethics and other studies carried out mainly at the ISS. The CEN extends its evaluation activity to all EPRs and public bodies of a national scope with a specific focus on clinical trials, a type of study that was seldom evaluated in the past. This contribution expresses some considerations on the main critical issues encountered in the evaluation of non-profit and low-intervention clinical trials and observational studies with and without drugs.
The Intellectual Property & Technology Transfer Platform of the A_IATRIS Association: a compendium for valorising the results of scientific research
The Intellectual Property & Technology Transfer Platform of the A_IATRIS Association provides training activities through travelling workshops. Based on the success of the workshops, a compendium was produced to support researchers in dealing with and managing the protection of research results and the implementation of technology transfer. The compendium provides background on intellectual property rights in scientific publications, agreements and project drafting, information on software protection and technology transfer issues, and tools and strategies for evaluation of business ideas.
A new public health opportunity on dementias: starting activities envisaged by the Italian Fund for Alzheimer's and Dementias
The Fund for Alzheimer's and other Dementias is public funding aiming to the implementation and monitoring of the enforcement of the Dementia National Plan (DNP). In the view of the implementation of the DNP, Regions and Autonomous Provinces are therefore called to define and promote specific action to address critical issues related to the diagnosis and care of people with dementia. This congress aims at gathering and reporting the projects of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces on one or more action lines provided by the Fund, namely: early diagnosis, timely diagnosis, telemedicine, tele-rehabilitation and psycho-educational treatments, cognitive stimulation and caregiver support.
The consulting service on legal matters of the Telefono Verde AIDS and STIs of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, ISS - the Italian National Institute of Health: 10 years of activity
The Legal Service of the Telefono Verde AIDS e IST (Italian National AIDS and STI Helpline) of the ISS - 800 861061, in its 10 years of activity, has answered 833 telephone calls, for an overall amount of 1,019 questions regarding regulatory and legislative aspects related to HIV, AIDS and STIs. The analysis of the questions shows that 36.1% of the requests concern various aspects of the legislation for the protection of the person with HIV. A significant proportion of questions (25.7%) concern the specific aspect of data breach and violation of privacy legislation. It has to be pointed out that HIV/AIDS related stigma still affects the Italian society, requiring interventions to protect the health rights of people involved in HIV infection and other STIs, as well as training activities for health and social service professionals, so that they may acquire know-how and skills for a correct management of health data and to properly meet the health needs of people affected by HIV.
