Informed Consent
Term:
Informed Consent
Definition:
The process of explaining a clinical trial to participants and obtaining their voluntary agreement to participate.
What is Informed Consent?
Informed consent is a process in which a participant voluntarily agrees to join a clinical trial after being fully informed about the study’s purpose, procedures, potential risks, benefits, and their rights. It involves a clear and open discussion between the research team and the participant, followed by the participant signing a written consent form to document their agreement to participate.
For example, in a trial testing a new asthma medication, the informed consent process would explain the treatment being studied, possible side effects, and the participant's role, such as attending scheduled visits and providing feedback.
Why is Informed Consent Important?
Informed consent is a cornerstone of ethical clinical research, ensuring participants understand and willingly agree to their involvement. Key reasons include:
- Participant Protection: Provides a clear explanation of potential risks and benefits, allowing participants to make informed decisions.
- Transparency: Establishes trust by ensuring participants are fully aware of the study’s details.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets ethical and legal standards set by bodies like the FDA, EMA, and institutional review boards (IRBs).
- Voluntary Participation: Reinforces the participant’s right to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.
- Ethical Integrity: Demonstrates the research team’s commitment to conducting the study responsibly.
Informed consent empowers participants to take an active role in their clinical trial journey.
