📢 Breaking news ! The Declaration of Helsinki 2024 Revision has been adopted by the World Medical Association General Assembly in Helsinki this morning, after a 30-month review period. This global reference for medical research involving human participants has been updated to reflect 2024 realities. Substantive changes can be categorised in two areas: ➡️ Participant-centered inclusion, respect and protection ➡️ Research beneficence and value, including the pursuit of “individual and public health”, upholding scientific rigor and integrity, and considered distribution of benefits, risks and burdens. The 2024 revision of the Declaration of Helsinki replaces ‘subjects’ with ‘participants' throughout out of respect for the rights, agency, and importance of those individuals. Special thanks to everyone involved including: 👏 WMA Declaration of Helsinki revision workgroup from 19 countries 👏 Input from 110 partners, including WMA constituent members from two public comment periods 👏 Participants in the  eight regional and topical meetings were held across all WMA regions since late 2022 👏 Delegates at the WMA General Assembly who supported the adoption of the DoH More detailed information coming soon highlighting what has been changed to improve this document.

🔔 Amendement de la Déclaration d’Helsinki par la World Medical Association 🎯La Déclaration d’Helsinki initialement adoptée en juin 1964, et amendée à plusieurs reprises, vient d’être amendée dernièrement en octobre 2024 par la 75ème Assemblée générale de l’Association Médicale Mondiale (AMM). « L’AMM a élaboré la Déclaration d’Helsinki comme déclaration de principes éthiques pour la recherche médicale impliquant des participants humains, y compris la recherche utilisant du matériel ou des données humaines identifiables. La Déclaration doit être lue dans son ensemble et chacun de ses paragraphes constitutifs doit être appliqué en tenant compte de tous les autres paragraphes pertinents. Bien que la Déclaration soit adoptée par les médecins, l’AMM estime que ces principes doivent être respectés par tous les individus, équipes et organisations impliqués dans la recherche médicale, car ces principes sont fondamentaux pour le respect et la protection de tous les participants à la recherche, y compris les patients et les volontaires sains. » 📌Au-delà des principes généraux, cette déclaration est structurée avec les rubriques suivantes : ✅ Risques, contraintes et avantages ✅ Vulnérabilité individuelle, collective et communautaire ✅ Exigences scientifiques et protocoles de recherche ✅ Comités d’éthique de la recherche ✅ Confidentialité et vie privée ✅ Consentement libre et éclairé ✅ Utilisation du placebo ✅ Dispositions postérieures au procès ✅ Enregistrement de la recherche, publication et diffusion des résultats ✅ Interventions non prouvées dans la pratique clinique 👉 Les principaux apports de cette révision portent : sur la révision du vocabulaire puisque dorénavant la Déclaration s’adresse aux « participants » à la recherche ; les mesures de protection pour les groupes vulnérables sont renforcées, notamment les populations marginalisées ; les modalités du consentement éclairé sont précisées, notamment sur les informations concernant les risques et les bénéfices ; les exigences pour la transparence des résultats de recherche sont accrues, y compris pour l’enregistrement des essais cliniques ; et la minimisation de l’impact environnemental des recherches doit être considérée. Malgré tout des questions demeurent et demanderont certainement de futures mises à jour (cf : Bierer 2024) ➡ Document en ligne : https://lnkd.in/ewuVMnpT ➡ Actualité en ligne : https://lnkd.in/erYYpEum ⬇ Pour en savoir plus ⬇
