What is the difference between a “Change of IoR” and an “Updated IoR Agreement” or "Updated Form FDA 1572" submission type?
A Change of Investigator of Record (IoR) is the change of the actual person that will function as the IoR for a specific study at a specific site. A change of IoR requires the submission of a new Form FDA 1572 or IoR agreement and a CV for the new IoR. An updated IoR agreement is just an updated copy of the actual signed agreement. Updated IoR agreements or Form FDA 1572s are required anytime that a change to one of the sections in the form is made at the site.
What does RA in the document type IRB/EC/RA Documentation mean?
RA stands for Regulatory Agency. This documentation type is used for all Investigational Review Board documentation, Ethics Committee documentation or for documentation from any other Regulatory Agency that may be required based on the site's specific location and the governing rules for that location.
