Legislation
The underpinning legal framework for Clinical Research is the Clinical Trials Act, which was enacted on 19 April 2011. The Act enables Contract Research Organisations (CROs) based in Mauritius to conduct their clinical trials under the appropriate legal framework.
The Act also sets out a regulatory framework for the safe and ethical conduct of trial on human beings in Mauritius.
The Clinical Trials Act provides for the setting up of a:
Clinical Research Regulatory Council (CRRC)
To regulate and control clinical trial licenses.
Ethics Committee (EC)
To advise the CRRC regarding welfare, safety, health and protection of human subjects participating in clinical trials.
PharmacoVigilance Committee (PVC)
To monitor all clinical trials being performed and ensure Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
* The CRRC, EC and PVC are compliant with “The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH), European Guidelines namely the ICH E6: Good Clinical Practice: Consolidated Guideline”.
