Guidelines for Participant Consent in BA/BE Studies

Purpose

The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to establish guidelines for obtaining informed consent from participants in Bioavailability (BA) and Bioequivalence (BE) studies in the pharmaceutical industry.

Scope

This SOP applies to all personnel involved in the recruitment, enrollment, and consent process of study participants, including Principal Investigators, Study Coordinators, and Clinical Research Associates.

Responsibilities

The Principal Investigator (PI) or Study Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that informed consent is obtained from all study participants.
The Regulatory Affairs team is responsible for ensuring that the informed consent process complies with regulatory requirements and guidelines.
Study personnel involved in obtaining informed consent must be adequately trained and competent in explaining study details and answering participant questions.
