New Contract Language

PROMISES TO STUDY SUBJECTS ON BEHALF OF SPONSOR

Each of INSTITUTION and INVESTIGATOR shall not make any◦ written or oral promises, ◦ statements or other representations

to Study subjects (whether or not formally documented in the informed consent forms) that SPONSOR or CRO will (i) provide any form of

◦ compensation, ◦ reimbursement or payment, ◦ medical treatment (including post-Study provisioning of any additional Study

Drug) and/or ◦ any other support or thing of value,

except to the extent expressly provided within this Agreement or the Protocol; or (ii) provide any greater reimbursement for Study-related injuries than that which is set forth in an agreement as discussed in Article 8 <Study Budget>.

Any member of research team

Make sure this is in Contract before talking about it…

Look before you leap…

If consent is wrong and

promises more than the

contract, you are still

prohibited from talking about it.

2. Budget and associated documents are submitted to ORA for internal review3. Internal (ORA) compliance review and approval occurs4. Documents are reviewed to make sure each is consistent with the other (IC,

contract, budget)5. CTA and Budget Exhibits are finalized (ready for signature)6. Contract is executed by all parties
