Basic↦Ethics and Laws↦Portals↦Ethics Portal BASEC
What is it? Why is it important?
The Business Administration System for Ethics Committees (BASEC) is the EC portal for the submission of all clinical studies and non-clinical research projects in Switzerland:
- Clinical trials
- Research projects
- Amendments
- Notification of safety events
- Clarification of responsibilities
- Requests for temporary authorizations
- General questions, etc.
The submission process contains a series of screens to be filled in and documents to be uploaded.
What do I need to do?
As a SP-INV or project-leader submit your study or project (as defined under HRA) prior to implementation to EC for approval.
When planning to submit a study or research project:
- Create a personalised account
- Go through the FAQ section, which can greatly facilitate your submission
The same account can be used for multiple study submissions of different projects.
Create a dummy project via your account which allows you to find out which documents are required for your trial or research project.
