Framework for clinical studies in Korea

The ethical, legal, and institutional framework for clinical studies in Korea is based on three major documents.

1 The first document is the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act (약사법).

An official English translation of this law can be downloaded at no charge from the Korea Legislation Research Institute website.

2 The second document is the Rules on the Safety of Pharmaceutical Products, Etc. (의약품 등의 안전에 관한 규칙; also abbreviated as Pharmaceutical Product Safety Rules (의약품안전규칙)).

It is not easy to find the official English translation of this document, but it does exist. I would be glad to email it to you at no charge. Contact me if you want a copy.

3 The third document is the Guidelines for Korean Good Clinical Practice (KGCP, 의약품 임상시험 관리기준).

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has not made an English translation of this text available, but you can get it from me here today.
