Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs), also known as investigator-initiated studies or investigator-initiated research, are gaining prominence in the field of clinical research. These trials offer a unique opportunity for unbiased and credible research, free from corporate influences.
What Are Investigator-Initiated Trials?
Investigator-Initiated Trials are studies conducted by independent researchers or groups of researchers who take on the roles of both the sponsor and the investigator. This means that the researchers not only conceive the research idea but also develop the study protocol and administer the investigational product to the subjects.
Unbiased Research with IITs
One of the primary advantages of IITs is their independence from corporate sponsorship. In conventional clinical trials, where companies fund the research, there can be concerns about potential bias or conflicts of interest. In contrast, IITs operate without a corporate sponsor, which lends them a higher level of credibility and impartiality. This independence allows researchers to explore the efficacy and safety of a product without external pressures.
Flexibility and Real-World Scenarios
IITs also offer the flexibility to conduct research in real-world scenarios, mirroring the conditions in which the product will ultimately be used. This can lead to a more profound understanding of the tested product’s performance and its real-world applicability.
The Role of the Investigator-Sponsor
Within an IIT, the investigator takes on the pivotal role of both sponsor and investigator. They conceptualize the research, design the protocol, and are responsible for the study’s overall coordination and execution. This dual role ensures that the research remains unbiased and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
