<body>
<p>The proposed rule will&nbsp;update FDA&rsquo;s investigational new drug application (IND) regulations to better define and clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various persons engaged in the initiation, conduct, and oversight of clinical investigations subject to IND requirements. The proposed changes are intended to better protect the rights, safety, and welfare of subjects participating in clinical investigations and help ensure the integrity of clinical trial data. The proposed rule is expected to&nbsp;help reduce study misconduct, enhance protection of subjects and ensure the reliability and integrity of clinical trial data (benefits) while requiring additional documenting and reporting for clinical investigators (cost).&nbsp;</p>
