Investigator Brochure (IB)

The requirements for the creation, content, and updating of an Investigator Brochure (IB).

Investigator Brochure

The Investigator Brochure (IB) provides investigators with the clinical and non-clinical information needed to understand the rationale for the trial, assess risks and benefits, and manage participants safely in line with the protocol.

The IB should be concise, balanced, non-promotional, and updated/validated at least once a year.

This SOP applies to all clinical trials sponsored, co-sponsored or managed by King’s Health Partners (KHP) organisations where an IB is required.

For licensed products, a current Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) may be used instead of an IB, if appropriate.
