An investigator received an updated investigator's brochure from the sponsor; the update did not include changes related to subject safety. Which of the following parties, if any, is the investigator required to notify?
The Investigator's Brochure (IB) is updated by the sponsor to reflect new scientific or clinical information.
ICH E6(R2) 7.3: ''The sponsor should revise the IB as soon as new, significant information becomes available.''
ICH E6(R2) 4.1.5: Requires the investigator to ensure staff are informed, but there is no requirement to notify IRB/IEC unless subject safety, rights, or risk profile is affected.
Since this update contained no changes related to subject safety, the investigator is not obligated to notify IRB/IEC, DSMB, or regulators. The updated IB must simply be filed in the regulatory binder and implemented at the site.
Thus, the correct answer is D (No notification is required).
ICH E6(R2), 7.3 (Updating the Investigator's Brochure).
ICH E6(R2), 4.1.5 (Investigator responsibilities for informing staff).
