Clinical trials with academic sponsors
The HPRA does not charge a fee for clinical trials conducted by academic sponsors submitted under the Clinical Trials Directive where there is no financial support for the conduct of the trial. Any request for a fee waiver should be clearly stated in the cover letter.
A protocol template is available for academic sponsors on request to clinicaltrials@hpra.ie.
