CRC HKL E-NEWSLETTER ISSUE 5
WORDS FROM EDITOR
PAGE 2
Hi readers!
Welcome back to our fifth edition of CRC E-newsletter. How time flies. It’s the end of 2018.
How are you? I hope 2018 has brought you all the success, blessing, good health, happiness and joy.
What have you achieved so far in research field? Have you been involved with any clinical trials or any sorts of
research? If that so, I bet you have familiarised yourself with the term ‘Informed Consent’. In this issue, we would like to
illuminate about the Informed Consent topic, which is one of the very important part before a research is conducted
especially in human being. As you know, informed consent is an essential process whereby it protect subject autonomy
and human rights. Guidelines stated that in obtaining and documenting informed consent, the investigator should comply
with the applicable regulatory requirements and should adhere to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and to the ethical
principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. Let’s have a read in details about the importance of
Inform Consent inside.
In this issue, we also would like to share with all readers about our HKL Research Day 2018 that held on 30th
August 2018. It was a successful event participated by more researchers compared to last year’s event, and attended by
many VIPs and prominent figures in research industry that shared their vast knowledge and experiences. In this
e-newsletter edition, we have included the winners of the research poster competition too. Congratulation to all the
winners!! Let’s take a look on the example of their research posters here. Who knows it can instil some ideas and tips to
the new researchers out there who are about to learn on how to do a research poster.
Apart from that, we would also like to share other trainings which were successfully organized by CRC HKL
throughout 2018 inclusive of the interdepartmental trainings that were mutually agreed between CRC HKL and few other
clinical departments in HKL. Looking forward for more interdepartmental trainings collaboration in the coming years.
As for publication, we have listed our HKL staffs’ Publications for 2018. By looking at the number of
publications that has increased year by year, it shows something that we should be proud of. Congratulations to all
researchers who manage to published their research findings. We believed it was not an easy-peasy process but definitely
worth and satisfying once the paper has successfully published right? I hope the achievements that we shared in this
newsletter edition will motivate more young researchers out there to continue their research work and aim to get the
research findings published.
Before I ended here, just take a moment to follow us in Facebook (www.facebook.com/
ClinicalResearchCentreHKL) and be friend with us (CrcHkl). You can definitely drop your queries/feedbacks in the
comments section. Enjoy your reading and see you on next issue!
Why need of informed consent?
Informed consent is crucial as it
promotes respect for subject’s
autonomy and it also protects the
participants’ right in any research
conducted involving human. The
intent is that participants can
participate in research voluntarily
with full information about what it
means for them to take part, and
that they give consent before they
participate the research.
What is informed consent?
Informed consent is a voluntary
agreement to participate in
research and it’s not merely a
form that is signed but it is a
process, in which the subject has
the understanding of the research
and its risks.
What are the components in a valid informed consent?
An Informed consent emphasizes a process where the clinical research
participant must receive and comprehend information appropriately to make an
autonomous decision. An informed consent process can be termed as complete,
valid, and meaningful if all four criteria of
information disclosure, competence, comprehen-
sion, and voluntariness are effectively satisfied. It
is essential to consider that competence or
capacity of an individual to make decision
depends on his/her ability to understand relevant
information, to appreciate the nature of situation
along with its consequence, to reason the given
information, and the ability to communicate
choice.
INFORMED CONSENT
Evolution of informed consent
Informed consent evolution begins with Nuremberg Code (1947) which developed in response to the Nuremberg
Trial of Nazi Doctors who performed unethical experimentation during World War II. This code emphasized that
voluntary consent is required in clinical research studies and researchers should minimise risk and harm, make
sure the risks not significantly outweigh the potential benefit in any clinical research.
Later in 1964, World Medical Association in Helsinki, Finland adopted 12 principles to guide researchers on ethical
considerations related to biomedical research. It emphasizes the distinction between the medical care that
directly benefits the patients and research that may or may not provide direct benefit.
In 1979, The Belmont Report sets forth tree principles underlying the ethical conduct of research which are
Respect to person, Beneficence and Justice. Later in 1982, the WHO and Council for Internationals Organizations
of Medical Science, CIOMS created the International Ethical Guidelines for research involving human subjects in
1982. The goal of the guidelines is to support and help implement the ethical principles of the Helsinki
Declaration.
Guideline for GCP was developed by International Conference on Harmonisation (1996) to provide a unified
standard for the European Union, Japan and United States of America to protect the right and wellbeing of human
subject involved in clinical trials and to facilitate mutual acceptance of clinical data by the regulatory authorities
in these regions. Up to date, this guideline is frequently update and widely used as a guidance in protecting
subject autonomy and safety in biomedical research.
The informed consent document must be written in language that is easily understood by the participant, it must minimize the possibility of coercion or undue
influence, and the subject must be given sufficient time to consider participation before giving the consent.
CRC HKL E-NEWSLETTER ISSUE 5 PAGE 3
What are the crucial elements that have
to be included in informed consent ?
Malaysian GCP obliged that the Cultural sensitivity aspect (bovine, porcine)
has to be included in the informed consent documents.
CRC HKL E-NEWSLETTER ISSUE 5 PAGE 4
How do we get informed consent from subjects who are not able to give
informed consent?
For participants who are not able to give informed consent (e.g., unconscious, minor
(<18 years old), or those suffering from severe mental illness or disability), it has be
obtained from a legally acceptable representative (LAR). LAR is an individual or a legal
body authorized under applicable law to consent, on behalf of a prospective participant,
to the individuals’ participation in the clinical trial. If the participant or LAR is unable to
read/write, then an impartial witness should be present during the entire informed
consent process and must append his/her signatures to the
consent form.
An impartial witness is a person who is independent of the trial and cannot be unduly
influenced by the people involved with the trial and who attends the informed consent
process if the participant or the participant's LAR cannot read and who reads the ICF and
any other written information supplied to the participant.
In case of a matured minor (as defined by the ICMR guidelines as an individual <18 years
but ≥7 years), informed assent needs to be taken apart from parental/LAR consent.

THIRD HKL RESEARCH DAY 2018
PAGE 5 CRC HKL E-NEWSLETTER ISSUE 5
30th August 2018 manifested as one of our special day for 2018 as our annual event, Hospital
Kuala Lumpur Research Day came into a success. As usual, Main Auditorium Hospital Kuala
Lumpur has been the witness for the event with a very nice decoration of “Traditional” theme. The
Hospital Kuala Lumpur Research Day 2018 was officiated by our Deputy Director General of
Health (Medical) YBhg. Dato’ Dr Hj. Azman Abu Bakar and had a very good attendance response.
Total estimation of 250 delegates which came from our hospital staffs, National CRC and other
hospitals CRC colleagues, Medical Research Review Committee (MREC) representatives, Institute
of Medical Research (IMR) representatives as well as volunteers support from few universities such
as University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). We were lucky as apart from Clinical Research Malaysia (CRM) being our regular
sponsor for research day, we also have MAXIS and PHARMANIAGA that joined in collaborating and sponsoring the event for
this year.
Maintain the same theme as previous year “Research Today for the Best Healthcare of Tomorrow”, today HKL has
progressed to be the favourite site for clinical trials by major pharmaceutical companies worldwide as being the largest hospital in
the country with the biggest pool of patients. HKL is one of the national referral centres whereby multiple disciplinary specialties
are situated to offer the best services in the country. Thus, HKL has always been at the centre of research hub among MOH
facilities.
During the event, we had the opportunity to congratulate and acknowledge our Hospital Research Review Committee
member (HRRC HKL) who had given their continuous support and commitment in reviewing clinical research proposals together
with CRC HKL team before we make the recommendation to MREC. We were glad enough to see our old and new faces of
committees who joined us on board.
We were very honoured to have an inspiring plenary session entitled “My Research Journey” delivered by Professor Dr
Teo Soo Hwang who is currently serves as Chief Executive and Head of Breast Cancer Research Programme of Cancer Research
Malaysia. She had recently been awarded the OBE by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her contribution to medical research.
Her sharing session on the vast experience of her in clinical research work amazed the audience. We believed that she had instil
the passion and courage to our young researchers who attended the event.
The research day event continued with a forum session entitled “Bridging Public Health and Tertiary Care Through
Research” participated by experienced panels who tried to unravel the potential of HKL, and what challenges might be ahead in
our pursuit towards the seamless integration of research in the current clinical practice. For this, we invited YBhg. Dato’ Dr Goh
Pik Pin (Director of National Clinical Research Centre), YBrs. Dr Haji Tahir Bin Aris (Director of National Institute of Public
Health), YBrs. Dr Saiful Bin Md Sani (Consultant Internal Medicine, HKL) and YBrs. Professor Dr Sanjay Rampal A/L Lekhraj
Rampal (HOD of Social & Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, UMMC) to lead the hot one hour forum session.
Overall, we had a very good number of participations this year as there were 59 posters and 3 oral presentations were
contested. All the presentations were judged fairly by 8 experienced and dedicated judges. They split into 3 for Oral and 5 for
Poster presentation. Professor Dr Ng Chirk Jenn (Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya), Dr Ho Tze Ming (MREC Scientific
Reviewer) and Dr Zuraidah Che Man (Clinical Epidemiologist, UKM Medical Centre) led the Oral presentation competition.
While Dr Hajjah Nor Fariza Binti Ngah (Head of Ophthalmology & CRC Hospital Shah Alam), Dr Wong Yoke Fui (Head of
CRC National Cancer Institute, Oncologist), Dr Zaleha Abd Manaf (HRRC member, Former Head or Radiology department
HKL), Dr Ngu Lock Hock (Chairperson of HRRC, Consultant Medical Geneticist) and Mdm Rohana Hassan (HRRC member,
Clinical Pharmacist) be the judges for the poster competition. We would like to congratulate to all the winners for their great
research work and presentation.
Our event was closed by our HKL new director, YBrs. Dr Herric Coray. CRC HKL would like to thank everyone who
has tirelessly contributed towards making this event a success. We hope that we continue to show our commitment in ensuring a
flourishing research culture in HKL and pave a distinctive path for our future generation. See you in the HKL Research Day 2019.
