Duration 2 hours

The Lay Protocol Synopsis (LPS) plays a key role in making clinical trials understandable to everyone. Recommended under the EU Clinical Trial Regulation, this short document translates complex protocol information into clear, accessible language for the wider public. Over the past two years, an international expert group has developed detailed recommendations for writing effective LPS documents. Following a global consultation—with nearly 70 contributors providing more than 400 comments—the guidance has now been refined and finalised.

 

Join our webinar to explore the final recommendations, gain insights from the expert group, and take part in an open exchange with the community.
