Abstract:
Objective To study the integrity of informed consent form (ICF) for the minors.Methods The ICFs of 43 clinical trials conducted in our hospital during 2012 to 2015 were collected to study the missing rate of elements according to the elements list of ICF arranged by our hospital medical ethics committee.Initial review notification letters were consulted to analyze the concerns of ethical review.Results The ratios of ICF integrity (＞ 60％) were 54.54％,87.50％ and 100.00％respectively in 2012-2013,2014 and 2015.Compared with the integrity in 2012-2013,there were significandy different (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the integrity in 2014 and 2015 (P ＞0.05).In ICFs of legal guardian,there was statistically significant difference among drug,medical instrument and in vitro diagnostic regen clinical trial (P ＜0.01).The ratio of ICF integrity (＞80％) was 57.69％ in drug clinical trial,and there were none in medical instrument and in vitro diagnostic regen clinical trial.The integrity of all the ICFs of the minors,which were all from drug clinical trial,were over 60％,and the ratio of the integrity (＞ 80％) was 45.45％.The excellent and good rate of foreign sponsors' ICFs integrity was 100％,and that of the domestic sponsors' was only 33.33％.There was statistically significant difference between them (P ＜ 0.01).The major missing elements were consistent with the concerns of ethical review:the lack of special ICFs for the minors to read and the age group to obtain informed consent.Conclusion To improve the quality of ICFs and design the suitable ones for the minors will be good for protecting the rights and interests of subjects and promoting the development of clinical trial of minors.
