The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. Extreme control measures have been applied globally. Borders between countries have been closed, and quarantining and physical distancing have been practiced. These control measures come at a socioeconomic cost, and certainly come at the expense of scientific research. Clinical research often involves human to human interaction; however, such interaction has become hazardous due to the highly contagious nature of COVID-19. The extreme control measures applied globally are relatively novel and form the main challenges to ongoing research. Continuation of research studies that were in process during the pre-pandemic phase is challenging. Researchers have taken one of two routes: a temporary pause, or continuation during the pandemic. The Clinical Research Network Coordinating Centre reported that 54% of commercial studies and 12% of non-commercial studies had continued as planned [1]. We wish to highlight potential issues with continuing clinical research throughout the pandemic......
