CAUTIONARY
TALES
PROBLEMS WITH THIS STUDY:
The IRB was not informed when Dr. Michigan left the institution. The
IRB is not aware of the new members of the research team, their qualifications
and their level of understanding of the project.
Participants were not given copies of the consent to take home or to
discuss their options with their families. Not having a consent form on
hand hampers ongoing review by the participants and their families.
Lack of a consent form at home gave Mrs. Shift's daughter no quick way
to respond to what could be an emergency related to the investigational
drug.
Shouldn't the IRB have the opportunity to review new information about
the risks and decide if the risks and the benefits are still appropriate?
Shouldn't the already enrolled participants have a chance to make a
decision based on the new information?
If Dr. Chicago signs the consent forms, doesn't that imply that he was
present for the informed consent discussion? If he signs -- but was not
present -- doesn't this cast doubt on the validity of the consent form
as documentation of that discussion?
The payment of subjects is not mentioned in the consent form -- hence
the surprise. Can participants trust that the investigators will do what
they promised they would do or will there be other surprises? Would the
IRB members have considered payments coercive if they had known about the
amount to be paid out to the participants ?
LESSONS LEARNT FROM THIS TALE
There must be ongoing communication between the Investigators and the
IRB. Whenever there is change in personnel among those listed as investigators
in the original application to the IRB, the IRB must be informed.
The P.I. must take full responsibility for all study personnel, give
full orientation to the new residents and also inform the IRB of all the
changes in personnel.
The consent form exists as documentation of a verbal explanation and
discussion. Signatures on the form attest that this interaction took place.
Persons who cannot attest to this fact should not sign the form.
Participants are not always aware of their rights, or of the information
and time they are entitled to.
Without their own copy of the consent, participants may not know about
or remember these rights , the risks of participating, or whom to call
in case there is a problem.
Changes in the known risks and benefits must be submitted to the IRB
for evaluation. It may be necessary to reconsent previously enrolled participants.
