FDA has issued an immediately-in-effect guidance, *FDA Guidance on Conduct of Clinical Trials of Medical Products During the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency*, to provide general considerations to assist sponsors in assuring the safety of trial participants, maintaining compliance with good clinical practice, and minimizing risks to trial integrity for the duration of the Covid-19 public health emergency. An appendix to the [document](https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/fda-guidance-conduct-clinical-trials-medical-products-during-covid-19-public-health-emergency?ref=fdaweb.com) further explains the general considerations by providing answers to questions that the agency says it has received about conducting clinical trials during the emergency.
