-

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a draft information sheet guidance “Frequently Asked Questions Statement of Investigator (Form FDA 1572)” as an update to the same titled guidance document from 2010. It provides clarification on when a waiver can be requested when an investigator outside the US cannot or will not sign a Form 1572. The purpose of the Form FDA 1572 is to collect applicable information from the investigators and sub-investigators at clinical research sites to verify they have the appropriate experience and background to conduct the clinical trial. Signing the 1572 is an agreement to conduct the clinical trial according to the applicable FDA regulations while protecting the safety and rights of the study participants and the quality of the data.
