The routemap is modelled on the toolkit for clinical trials developed by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in UK. The content of the toolkit is based on available guidance for clinical trials in India published by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The content also draws from internationally available guidance and best practices as they apply to clinical trials.<\/p>\n<h4><strong style=\"font-size: 18px !important;\">Feedback and Revision<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is our endeavour to ensure that all the information provided in the toolkit is complete, up to date and accurate. We welcome your feedback and comments on the information provided and we would request you to kindly to so by clicking on the feedback tab. Additionally, the content of the toolkit will be revised periodically as and when policies, regulations and guidance pertaining to clinical trials in India is introduced or modified.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1' class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-25'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2' class='avia-section main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow avia-bg-style-scroll   container_wrap sidebar_right'   ><div class='container' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-25'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h4><strong style=\"font-size: 18px !important;\">Clinical Trials Toolkit Team<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-circle    avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/cdsatoolkit.thsti.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Professor-Usha-Menon.jpg' alt='' title='Professor-Usha-Menon'   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"lkij\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Professor Usha Menon<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;\">MRC Clinical Trials Unit University College London, UK<br \/>\nStrategy Lead, CDSA, THSTI,<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0em 0px; text-align: left;\">India<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0em 0px; text-align: left;\">Adjunct Professor, THSTI,<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0em 0px; text-align: left;\">India<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-circle    avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/cdsatoolkit.thsti.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/dr-amrita-sekhar-1.jpg' alt='' title='dr-amrita-sekhar'   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"lkij\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dr Amrita Sekhar<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;\">Consultant \u2013 THSTI,<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: left;\">Consultant \u2013 Division of G.I.
