Authorised clinical trials must be recorded in a public register. The Federal Council shall define the clinical trials in more detail and may specify exemptions from mandatory registration; in doing so, it shall be guided by recognised international regulations.19
It shall designate the register, provide information on access thereto and specify the content of registration, as well as notification requirements and the notification procedure. In doing so, it shall have regard to recognised international regulations and if possible take existing registers into consideration.
It may:
entrust public- or private-law organisations with the establishment and management of the register;
specify that the results of registered research projects must be published on a recognised platform.
