    Study Notes

    Principles of the Belmont Report

    • Key principles: Respect for Persons, Beneficence, Justice.
    • Respect for Persons entails information, comprehension, and voluntariness in informed consent.

    Application of Beneficence

    • Beneficence in studies involves maximizing benefits while minimizing risks to participants.

    Drug Development Timeline

    • Development of new drugs typically requires 9 years or more from discovery to market approval.

    Clinical Study Phases

    • Randomized studies of interventions like drug X on migraine patients classify as Phase III trials.
    • Phase I studies focus on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new formulations.
    • Preclinical studies evaluate long-term drug toxicity in animals.

    ICH and GCP Guidelines

    • The ICH aims to minimize redundant research and establish standards for clinical trials.
    • ICH GCP guidelines specify responsibilities for investigators, sponsors, and IRBs.

    Compliance and Regulatory Aspects

    • Following ICH E6 GCP in the U.S. is voluntary for FDA-regulated drug studies.
    • Consent forms must clarify probability of assignment to trial arms, without mandated formats.
    • Subjects can receive either signed or unsigned copies of consent forms.

    Risk Management and Quality Systems

    • ICH E6 requires sponsors to implement risk-based quality management throughout trial stages, identifying study risks appropriately.
    • ICH E6 has stringent requirements for confidentiality regarding medical records and subject access.

    Investigator Responsibilities

    • The sponsor-investigator is responsible for making initial risk determinations for devices in studies and reporting annually to the FDA.
    • Investigators must update IRBs about trial progress and submit Form FDA 1572 when necessary.

    Adverse Event Reporting

    • Adverse events must be reported to the sponsor, and accurate reporting is critical for subject safety.
    • Causality evaluations of adverse events consider the timing of the event relative to drug administration.
    • Serious unexpected adverse events must prompt IND safety reports to the FDA if reasonably believed to be caused by the drug.

    Monitoring and Auditing

    • Audits are independent examinations of trial-related activities, while inspections involve official reviews by regulators.
    • The primary goal of monitoring and audits is to protect human research subjects and ensure data integrity.

    Special Situations

    • In life-threatening situations necessitating rapid action, the investigator can use a test article without prior consent but must notify the IRB later.
    • Discussing alternative treatment options with subjects enrolled in ongoing trials is essential when new beneficial therapies arise.

    Study Logistics

    • Investigator must report elevated lab values, even if not listed as adverse events, to the sponsor.
    • Inventory checks for investigational products occur during periodic site visits but not during pre-study visits.

    Oversight and Ethical Standards

    • OHRP focuses on the protection of human research subjects ensuring ethical standards in clinical trials.
    • The site initiation visit is critical for thorough reviews of the protocol and site staff capabilities.
