Ethical considerations of prospective data collection for stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR): an overview from the STOPSTORM.eu consortium
Multicentric non-pharmaceutical trials on STAR may present ethical, regulatory, and organizational challenges. The open registry model facilitates large-scale data collection and supports future protocol standardization. However, greater intercentre collaboration and regulatory harmonization are needed to optimize STAR's integration into clinical practice while upholding ethical standards in patient care and research.
