Supporting Ethical Research

Ethical research is research that:

  • Upholds the core ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence and justice
  • Protects the rights, safety and the well-being of human subjects
  • Is compliant with all applicable statutory regulations and guidelines

The Malaysian Good Clinical Practice and Code of Responsible Conduct in Research guides researchers in upholding ethical standards in their work.
 
Individuals who undertake research at facilities must adhere to these guidelines and all other applicable statutory regulations.

 Criteria for approval of a given research study 

 In order to be approved for a clinical study at one of SJMC’s exceptional research hospitals, the following criteria must be met in full: 

  • Scientific design and method of the study – research is ethically acceptable only if it relies on valid scientific methods
  • Risks and potential benefits – risks are minimised, and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits
  • Appropriate selection of study population and recruitment of research participants
  • Inducements, financial benefits, and financial costs – the amount and method of payment to subjects are such as to assure them, neither present problems of coercion or undue influence on the trial subjects
  • Protection of research participants’ privacy and confidentiality
  • Includes an informed consent process
  • Respects community considerations
