Clinical Trial Agreement

When specific commercial products, like medications or cosmetics, need to be tested on people, a clinical trial might be necessary. A Clinical Trial Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the company that makes the product (known as the "sponsor") and an appropriate institution (such as a research university). It addresses specific legal and policy issues related to human subject research, including allocation of risk, and the protection of rights.

Use the Clinical Trial Agreement document if:

• You're a company operator who wants to commission a clinical trial of a product.
• You work at an institution that conducts clinical trials.
• You've developed a product and needs to conduct a trial before selling your idea or product.
