The UAE has become one of the fastest-growing clinical research destinations in the Middle East. Emirate-level authorities — the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Department of Health in Abu Dhabi (DOH) — have modernised clinical trial frameworks, shortened approval timelines and created incentives for international sponsors to run regional studies in the country.
With that momentum comes a stricter-than-ever inspection culture. Sponsors and CROs operating in the UAE need eCRF systems that satisfy the data-integrity expectations of federal and emirate authorities while supporting bilingual sites and internationally standardised trials. Elysium Clinical Trials EDC was designed for exactly that balance.
This page explains how Elysium supports your UAE trial submissions, which authorities matter, and what the platform costs in UAE dirhams.
Local Regulatory Authorities & Data Integrity
Elysium is engineered for the record-keeping expectations of the authorities that govern clinical research in United Arab Emirates.
MOHAP
The Ministry of Health and Prevention oversees clinical trials in the federal and northern emirates. Elysium’s audit-trail and electronic-signature capabilities support the data requirements that accompany MOHAP trial approval.
Dubai Health Authority (DHA)
The DHA regulates research conducted at Dubai-based healthcare facilities, including approval and ongoing oversight of clinical research. Aligned data management makes DHA monitoring visits and audits faster to satisfy.
Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DOH)
DOH governs clinical research in Abu Dhabi, including healthcare facility licensing and research permits. Elysium helps you keep a clean, attributable record trail for DOH requirements.
National Committee of Bioethics (NCBE)
Ethics review for health research across the Emirates, with national and institutional committees reviewing protocols. Clean system records underpin the documentation ethics committees request.
UAE trials are typically approved at the emirate level first, and international sponsors commonly use one UAE site to anchor Gulf-region enrolment. Because Elysium lets you manage multiple sites and languages under one study, it fits both a single-centre UAE trial and a wider Gulf or MENA roll-out from the same environment.

Questions about EDC for United Arab Emirates
Which UAE authorities does Elysium align with?
Elysium supports the data-integrity and record-keeping expectations of the three main research regulators in the UAE: MOHAP, DHA and DOH, plus the ethics-review framework led by the National Committee of Bioethics. Approval itself always comes from each authority for your specific trial.
Does Elysium support Arabic and English?
Yes. Form labels, instructions and eCRF content can be authored in Arabic, English, or both within the same study, which suits UAE sites where participants and staff may be bilingual.
Can an international sponsor monitor a UAE trial remotely?
Yes. Monitors and CRAs are given role-limited access and can review data, raise queries and perform source-data-verification checks without travelling, while the audit trail records every action.
Is billing available in UAE dirhams?
Prices shown on this page are dirham equivalents for your budgeting. Your subscription is billed in US dollars, and an invoice is issued for each charge; see the pricing section for current AED-equivalent figures.
How fast can a UAE site go live?
Once an account is active (same day for most teams), a typical oncology or registry-style eCRF can be built in a day and a pilot study in under a week. There is no installation or IT dependency at the site.
