The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a final guidance in October 2009 to clarify the responsibilities of investigators in conducting clinical trials of drugs, biological products and medical devices. The final guidance reiterates the scope of responsibilities set forth in a May 2007 draft guidance, while modifying certain recommendations related to an investigator's supervision of other parties and ensuring reasonable access of subjects to medical care.
