UUSOP-16: FORM FDA 1572
The new UUSOP-16 was created to describe the process for completing and updating Form FDA 1572 for studies conducted at the University of Utah.
The Statement of Investigator, Form FDA 1572 (1572) is required for all clinical trials in which an Investigational New Drug (IND) application has been filed. The form provides the FDA and sponsors with information about qualifications of an investigator and their clinical site. The form also informs the investigator of their obligations to the research that will be conducted and serves as their signed commitment that they are qualified to conduct the research and will uphold their “Commitments” (see section 9 of the form).
Suggestions for future SOPs are welcome!
