Clinical trials and data regulatory approval of Covid-19-related research projects

The Danish Ministry of Health has ensured that the authorities within its remit responsible for data protection and the approval of data use are ready to fast track the dissemination of data for use in COVID-19 research and to urgently approve research projects on COVID-19. This applies to approval procedures within the Danish Medicines Agency, the Danish Health Data Authority and the Danish Patient Safety Authority.

 The Minister of Health in collaboration with the Minister of Higher Education and Science has requested the regional council chairmen to ensure the accelerated approval by regional approval bodies of applications for the approval of research projects and the dissemination of relevant health data.
