About the Clinical Trial Agreements Office

The Clinical Trial Agreements (CTA) Office is a large and expanding department situated within Research Legal and falls under the provision of both Corporate Legal and Research at UHN. The CTA Office helps to facilitate approximately 2,000 contracts a year for research involving human participants. Thousands of research studies are undertaken at UHN every year. While some involve UHN researchers and clinicians only, most involve third-parties such as pharmaceutical and medical device companies, government or funding agencies, contract research organizations and other research institutions. It is imperative that appropriate legal agreements are in place to govern these relationships as well as to manage and mitigate risk to the UHN and UHN research participants.
