Ces comités jouent un rôle crucial dans l’évaluation éthique des projets de recherche clinique, un processus devenu plus complexe compte-tenu en particulier des évolutions récentes législatives, réglementaires et méthodologiques. Le résultat de cette réflexion met en lumière les défis actuels auxquels les CPP font face, notamment la charge croissante de travail, la complexité des dossiers à traiter et le besoin d’un meilleur usage de leurs ressources. Pour y répondre, plusieurs recommandations sont proposées. Parmi celles-ci figurent l’amélioration de l’accompagnement des promoteurs avant la soumission des dossiers, la simplification des tâches administratives pour les membres des CPP et l’amélioration des outils informatiques. L’article souligne également le besoin d’évaluation continue des activités des CPP pour contribuer à la qualité et la cohérence de leurs avis, ainsi que l’importance de rendre cette activité plus attractive pour les professionnels qualifiés, en leur proposant des indemnisations et une reconnaissance professionnelle adéquates. Pour le bénéfice de l’ensemble des acteurs de la recherche en santé, il est fortement souhaité le développement d’une base documentaire unique accessible à tous et regroupant toutes les informations et modèles de documents utiles. Concernant les CER, qui agissent actuellement sans cadre juridique, il est en particulier proposé que leur développement se fasse dans des conditions de conformité à des principes essentiels de collégialité, de transparence et de gestion appropriée des liens d’intérêts. Enfin, il est apparu nécessaire que la Commission nationale des recherches impliquant la personne humaine (CNRIPH) bénéficie de ressources appropriées pour remplir efficacement ses missions incluant la coordination des CPP et l’élaboration de programmes de formation adaptés pour leurs membres. Ces recommandations visent à améliorer les conditions de fonctionnement des CPP et CER, assurant l’éthique des recherches engagées, ainsi que la qualité des résultats de ces dernières.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23147,"journal":{"name":"Therapie","volume":"80 1","pages":"Pages 135-144"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142628704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reflection highlights the current challenges faced by the CPPs, including the increasing workload, the complexity of the issues to be addressed and the need for better use of their resources. To address this, several recommendations are proposed. These include improving support to sponsors prior to submission, simplifying administrative tasks for CPP members and improving IT tools. The article also highlights the need for continuous evaluation of the activities of the CPPs to contribute to the quality and consistency of their opinions, as well as the importance of making this activity more attractive to qualified professionals, by offering them adequate compensation and professional recognition. For the benefit of all involved in health research, there is a strong desire to develop a single document management system accessible to all and inclusive of relevant information and document templates. Regarding the CERs, which currently operate without a legal framework, the proposition is that their development should take place under conditions of compliance with essential principles of collegiality, transparency and appropriate management of conflict of interest. Finally, it appeared necessary that the National Commission for Research Involving the Human Person (CNRIPH) be given adequate resources to carry out its tasks effectively, including the coordination of the CPPs and the development of appropriate training programs for their members.
