- select qualified investigators and provide them with the information needed to conduct the investigation properly
- enter into the necessary agreements with investigators
- ensure proper monitoring of the investigation
- ensure that IRB/EC review and approval are obtained
- ensure that the requirements for obtaining informed consent are met
- control and supervise use of the investigational device
- agree to safety reporting to health authorities and to Insightec
- have expert statistical support as appropriate for the study
- deliver written updates and reports to Insightec based on agreed timelines
- submit results of the study for publication in a scientific journal
Additionally, Insightec requires that the following documents are in place before the support can be initiated:
- a fully executed investigator-initiated study support agreement between the sponsor and Insightec
- a fully executed safety data exchange agreement between the sponsor and Insightec
- an EC/IRB and/or health authority approval
