GCP Training and Expedited review of Clinical Trial applications during Covid-19 pandemic:
SAHPRA recognise that the COVID-19 pandemic impacts on social distancing and approach to the conduct of clinical trials. The Authority took note of the high transmission of COVID-19 and some of the affected being the healthcare professionals. In line with the recommendations for social distancing and in order to combat the spread of COVID-19, SAHPRA has amended the requirements for face to face GCP training to allow comprehensive on-line Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Authority is committed to expedite review of COVID-19 related clinical trial applications with the review timeline between 7-10 working days.
The applications should be emailed to ctcresponses@sahpra.org.za and copy the following email addresses:

The reliance template is required to ensure the products are fundamentally the same, and evaluate minor or non-technical differences; however, SAHPRA will complete part of the review template –it will no longer be the applicant’s responsibility alone. The reliance template will be populated by both applicant and SAHPRA.
