Is post-marketing drug follow-up research or advertising?
IRB 1987 Jul-Aug; 9:(4):10-1
Abstract:
The authors raise a number of questions about postmarketing studies sponsored by drug companies: 1) Do drug monitoring studies involving nonacademically affiliated physicians require IRB approval? 2) What sort of consent from patients is necessary for this form of study-none, oral or written? 3) Should the patient be informed that monetary benefit flows to the physician from the drug company for conducting the study? 4) What are the legal consequences of physician participatioin in these studies in the event of adverse reactions?
