Ethics and Regulations

For the import of all classes of unregistered medical devices (Class A, B, C and D) for use in clinical trials (both investigational and non-investigational purposes), you would need to apply for their use via the CTM (Medical Devices) application form. One CTM form is to be submitted for each clinical trial. It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to obtain HSA approval and forward the approved CTM (Medical Device) form to the importer. A sponsor can designate this responsibility to a duly-appointed CRO. Please visit the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore (HSA) website for more information.

Legal and Finance

The Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) between SERI and the industry partner, which incorporates the approved budget, must be executed. Typically, the standard practice at SERI is to commence with the budget negotiation, and proceed thereafter with the CTA review, as the budget has to be incorporated within the executed CTA.
