    Hello Members, 

    Is it mandatory to file provide the informed consent template with the initial IND application, even though we are agreeing in the protocol that the Informed consent will be obtained from all participants and the PI will take full responsibility to obtain the same. 

    Does the FDA need to see the informed consent with the initial application iteself?

    Thanks

    I can answer from a medical device trial side - the IC form is required for an IDE application.

    Dear Anonymous,

    FDA regulations don't require that Informed Consent template be included in an IND. However, the Agency may request this document post-IND filing.

    Sincerely yours, Suzanne

    I agree with Suzanne.
    Initial IND applications do not require ICF submission.
    We still include it just to cut it short.

    I am not aware of a regulation stating that the informed consent is required to be submitted in an original IND or amendment. I have not always submitted an informed consent document when submitting a new protocol. However, it could be considered a best practice to do so and FDA can request that it be submitted, particularly for studies that involve significant risk or vulnerable populations.

    My experience is with IDEs, not INDs. For devices, FDA wants to see the Informed Consent document in the IDE submission. Recently I submitted a draft version and FDA came back and asked for the final. I would think the requirement would be the same for INDs.
