4 Introduction: Informed Consent Made by the sponsor LEC and nonlec s can ask for changes. Many years ago: Priority to inform the patient on the essentials of study Limited in size and content Currently: It is a booklet with detailed and sometimes difficult information It has different parts ; screening, participation, optional biopsies, sending and reclaiming of archived tissue, optional genetic analysis, pharmacokinetics,. It is both a legal document and an information document. This has implications for the language used 4

5 Introduction: Informed Consent Difficulties to discuss this IC with the Oncological Patient Many patients don t know anything about the different kind of therapies Diagnosis of PD full of emotions feel time pressure At this moment: how many patients will can read and understand an IC withouth some additional help/guidance? = TIME It is the mission of every trial office to combine The patients interest Ascertain the understanding of the IC document Guide them through this without inappropriate interfering with free choice The perform this within GCP boundaries How do we deal with it at CTO? 5

21 Financial template Law 10/ 05/2014 The doctor has to document in the medical file of the patient what is SOC and what is no SOC. It has an impact during contract negotiation Contract IC Financial template New trend in IC to explain what is SOC Sometimes this is against the SOC of a center 21

25 Practical issues at CTO IC is a booklet Will every patient read a main IC of 20/ 30 pages + IC PG +IC? It takes a lot of time and effort from the doctor and the study nurse to discuss with the study patient to make sure the patient understand the IC The whole proces with all docs and notes takes hours from the whole studyteam/ most of the time no efficient financial compensation foreseen Major protocol deviation Wrong date Signed but no written name Different dates Patient forgot to tick a box 25

26 Practical issues What about the many amendments? How to manage them: Many patients in a trial Many amendements on the IC (7/8) No highlighted sections in the new IC Important we are immediately informed about every submission of an IC amendments Impact on Contract Financial template Sponsors ask we deliver quality but this takes time 26
