Pennsylvania Supreme Court Ruling Requires Physicians to Personally Obtain Informed Consent

9/12/2017

What does that mean for the informed consent process for clinical trials?

Because the ruling considered the wording of 40 P.S. § 1303.504(a) as a basis for their understanding that a physician alone must obtain informed consent, and subsection 5 includes experimental drugs and devices, clinical trials conducted in Pennsylvania can be held to this new standard.
