The regional committees supervise that research projects are carried out in accordance with the granted permission. However, this does not apply to clinical trials with medicinal products, where the Danish Medicines Agency is the supervisory authority.
The regional committees also typically have the control task in cases where a project is approved by the NVK (National Scientific Ethical Committee).
Control can be carried out through inspections at the trial site, and the committee can, as part of the control, demand to receive all relevant information about the research project, including information about the health conditions of the trial subjects, etc. The committee can also require a project to be changed or, in special cases, stop the project.
