Legal Minute: 6 Crucial Mistakes in Informed Consent
May 20, 2024
Darshan Kulkarni

We discuss six critical errors in the informed consent process:

1. Exclusion of Principal Investigator: PI was not allowed to engage in the informed consent process.
2. Lack of Detailed Discussion: Staff members did not take the time to thoroughly discuss the study's potential benefits and risks with prospective subjects.
3. Inadequate Training: Coordinators lacked knowledge about the study and lacked a research background, leading to insufficient information provided to participants.
4. Unauthorized Handling of Paperwork: Unqualified individuals would sign required forms without proper understanding or expertise.
5. Lack of oversight: Subjects were allegedly denied meetings with sponsors, FDA, or IRB, citing privacy laws as a barrier.
6. Signature Verification Issues: Signatures were not compared with subjects' identification, posing challenges in ensuring the authenticity of informed consent.
