What can we help you with?

Register a clinical study

Any study you submit to EC Research must be notified using the registration form below. Only UMN and the recognition of a Biobank should not be registered in the form. Through this form, your submission will reach the appropriate service (CTC, EC Research, Biobank). Your study may no longer require validation from the clinical trial centre (CTC), e.g. case report and retrospective study where there is no third-party involvement. Please ensure that you only submit your study once via this registration form. 

Note: 

  • If your study was submitted via the registration form, has already been validated by the CTC/Biobank, and you therefore already have an S-number, you should not resubmit the study through the registration form. In that case, you should submit the study to the EC Research using the other form available via this link
  • If you already have an S-number but your type of study is not listed in the form via the link above, you should submit your application to the EC via email (ec@uzleuven.be), mentioning the S-number.
