Masterclass: Reviewing Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) for Compliance & Ethical Considerations

Informed Consent is the cornerstone of ethical clinical research, ensuring that participants fully understand their rights, risks, and study procedures before enrolling in a trial. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA and TGA require strict adherence to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines to protect patient autonomy and data integrity.

This 2-hour interactive masterclass provides a step-by-step approach to reviewing Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) for compliance, ethical considerations, and regulatory approval. Participants will learn how to identify common deficiencies, apply best practices, and ensure alignment with international regulations to safeguard both patients and trial integrity.
