Rethinking the Investigator’s brochure
The investigator’s brochure (IB) has long functioned as the main reference document for clinical trials, providing investigators with information needed to understand possible risks or adverse events (AEs) related to the investigational product and keep sites up-to-date on the study. Yet IBs are invariably lengthy, complex documents that are seldom read cover-to-cover or consulted when questions arise.
