They are designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new drugs, devices, treatments, or preventative measures using human subjects. Comprehensive coverage is both analytical and practical, with thorough treatment of:

  • The development of human subject protections and the important function played by both institutional review boards (IRBs) and federal regulatory agencies
  • The federal approval process for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biologics
  • The responsibility for regulatory oversight and investigations, with a discussion of which agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has responsibility for ensuring compliance
  • Intellectual property considerations, including an extensive discussion of the basics of intellectual property rights in the U.S.
  • Information management, including the sources for human subject protection: the Federal Common Rule, FDA Guidance, and HIPAA
  • Insurance payments for clinical trial services, whether through private insurance or federal reimbursement and the top ten steps to ensure that the application for billing is appropriate
