Legal aspects of conducting clinical trials and military trials with the participation of military personnel

Currently, the procedure for conducting clinical trials and military trials is regulated by a number of regulatory documents ranging from Federal laws to local orders of medical organizations. The article analyzes the regulatory documents of the Russian Federation in relation to conducting clinical trials and military trials with the participation of military personnel. It is noted that the legal status of a volunteer (military personnel) when conducting research in full-scale conditions is not fixed. In addition, in the case of conducting research with the involvement of military personnel as volunteers, it should be borne in mind that a serviceman has the right to engage in scientific, pedagogical and other creative activities. There is no regulatory document defining payments to volunteers participating in clinical trials. These organizational aspects require legislative permission to exclude legal conflicts in the planning, organization and conduct of research involving military personnel as volunteers (patients) (bibliography: 9 refs).
