“Human subjects in any part of the world should be protected by an irreducible set of ethical standards.”

“It is time to develop standards of research that preclude the kinds of double standards evident in these trials.”

International StandardsInternational Standards
Debate about standards has focused primarily on guidelines– Disagreement on language and justifications– Divergence on substantive issues– Different goals/constituencies– Different status– Different claims of authority
![Page 7: Barbara Sina, Ph.D. James V. Lavery, Ph.D. Fogarty International Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815e7e550346895dcd0aed/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
International StandardsInternational Standards
– Guidelines can’t foresee the full spectrum of factors and contextual features that might influence
an investigator’s decisions/actions IRB’s decisions
– Can’t tell IRBs what to do in any given case– Guidelines—and over-zealous concern with
“compliance” in particular—may make people less willing to accept that they are dealing with complex human judgements
![Page 8: Barbara Sina, Ph.D. James V. Lavery, Ph.D. Fogarty International Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815e7e550346895dcd0aed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
International StandardsInternational Standards
Guidelines, alone, cannot guarantee ethical conduct in research – In cases of disagreement between host country
and “remote” (i.e., U.S.) IRBs, U.S. IRBs are still bound to follow the Common Rule.
– The guidelines/regulations do not assist in resolving these disagreements

International StandardsInternational Standards
Other relevant targets for standards?– Standard of care in clinical trials– Research ethics review procedures– Institutional accountability practices– IRB training/education

– Need conceptual framework that can reflect the real determinants of ethical conduct
– Need approach to structure cross-country comparisons
