Putting Recommendation 8 into Putting Recommendation 8 into ACTIONACTION
The FDA and OHRP should (must) work with stakeholders:– To evaluate the requirements for exception – Identify serious impediments to EMS research
The FDA, OHRP and stakeholders should (must) work together:– To develop and propose strategies/revisions
» Reduce impediments» Protect subjects

Breaking Down the Specific Breaking Down the Specific RecommendationsRecommendations
National Conference: Stakeholders and regulators
– Recommend improvements to exception procedures
Congress:– Based upon the recommendations, should amend
the laws to: » Reduce regulatory burden » Facilitate research » Protect the rights of subjects

Breaking Down the Specific Breaking Down the Specific RecommendationsRecommendations
Educational Programs: Investigators
– Explain the consent process– Teach strategies for fulfilling the requirements
Educational Programs: IRB members/administrators
– Describe the difficulties in obtaining consent in EMS
– Explain the process of emergency exception to consent
– Promote acceptance by IRB’s– Promote consistency among IRB’s

TWO SETS OF FEDERAL RULESTWO SETS OF FEDERAL RULES
“General Requirements for Informed Consent” – 45 CFR 46.116
“Exception from Informed Consent Requirement for Emergency Research” – 21 CFR 50.24
![Page 6: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
““General Requirements for General Requirements for Informed Consent”Informed Consent”
Provides for “waiver” of consent (OHRP)– Only MINIMAL risk to the subjects – Will not adversely affect individual rights – Study cannot be practically carried out otherwise– Appropriate information provided to the subjects
Informed Consent is completely waived
![Page 7: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Problem with “Waiver”The Problem with “Waiver”
Minimal risk: “Typical risks and/or discomfort associated with everyday life.”
Reality: Nothing worth studying fits definition Example: Public Access Defibrillation Study Neither CPR nor defibrillation are considered
minimal risk!!!– And here we thought…
![Page 8: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
““Exception from Informed Consent Exception from Informed Consent Requirement for Emergency Research”Requirement for Emergency Research”
“The Final Rule” Provides for “exception” from informed
consent Administered by the FDA Terminology: “Waiver” and “Exception”
used interchangeably
![Page 9: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Requirements for Exception:The Requirements for Exception: Obtaining consent is not feasible The condition is life-threatening Some possibility of benefit The study is not feasible by other methods Attempts at consent throughout the
study/”therapeutic window”– Competent patient– Proxies/family
Consent documents: Prospectively developed “Community Consultation” “Public Notification”
![Page 10: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Community ConsultationCommunity Consultation– A dialogue– Details: NOT in the regulations
» Intent: Permissive » Reality: IRB’s hesitant
– Must verify to IRB:» Appropriately targeted to the right populations » Input received: REPRESENTITIVE of the POTENTIAL
study population» Broad enough to include any who might have an interest
– Appropriate forums for input– Announcements: Whole community or
appropriate populations– NOT the same as “Public Notification”
![Page 11: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Public NotificationPublic Notification After Consultation and IRB approval:
– Wide dissemination to the community that the study will occur
After completion of the study:– Public notification of RESULTS
» Lay public » Media » Scientific community
![Page 12: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HERE’S THE RUB:HERE’S THE RUB:Profound Societal IssuesProfound Societal Issues
The implementation of these regulations:
“has exposed a fundamental problem associated with conducting research with subjects who cannot provide consent: There is a direct and irrevocable (irreconcilable) tension between the standards of protecting the rights of research subjects and the ability to investigate and improve the care rendered to future patients.”
![Page 13: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Individual Autonomy vs. Public GoodIndividual Autonomy vs. Public Good
Societies have generally had:– A high view of individual autonomy…OR– A high view of community good
Not mutually exclusive:– Polar concepts– Generally: Societies lean strongly in one
direction
![Page 14: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RELATING THESE PHILOSOPHIES RELATING THESE PHILOSOPHIES TO MEDICAL RESEARCHTO MEDICAL RESEARCH
A High View of Individual Autonomy The Principle:
– “Voluntary, prospective, informed consent given by a competent research subject is the ethical cornerstone of human research and is the embodiment of the ethical principle of respect for individual persons…” (Biros, AEM, 1999)
![Page 15: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A High View of Individual AutonomyA High View of Individual Autonomy
The Complication:– If followed absolutely…
» Interventions that may benefit MANY individuals…will never be studied
The Practical Outcome for EMS:– Decisions about care…determined by
» Theory, opinion, and common sense…but…» Not METHODOLOGICALLY SOUND
EVIDENCE
![Page 16: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A High View of Public GoodA High View of Public Good
The principle: – Making individual autonomy subservient to
public good would allow research that could decrease mortality, morbidity, and suffering for society as a whole.
– It could also expose problems with interventions that are currently considered “standard of care” that may actually be harmful to patients.
![Page 17: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A High View of Public GoodA High View of Public Good
The complication:– History:
» Travesties» Inflicting “science” on individuals for the “public good”
– Mengala’s experiments: » Ideologies that began under the guise of “public good” » “Public good” The good of the STATE » Castration of Jewish boys

Naïve: – A simple discussion about:
» Research models» Scientific methods» Investigating therapeutic interventions
In fact:– Profound philosophical issues

American History: Commitment American History: Commitment to Individual Autonomyto Individual Autonomy
Does not exclude the concept of “doing the most good for the most people”
Errs on the side of protecting individual rights– Even if this potentially compromises the good of
the whole– Even tolerates a poorer “societal outcome” in
order to protect the individual» Ex: Freeing the guilty vs. punishing the innocent
![Page 20: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WEARING MORE BLINDERSWEARING MORE BLINDERS
OBVIOUSLY…Scientists can be trusted In fact:
– MOST scientists could be trusted:» To protect individual rights» Without government regulations
But…two factors make non-regulation dangerous

WHY REGULATIONS???WHY REGULATIONS??? Problem #1: Even the most
conscientious researchers need accountability – Creating new knowledge is ADDICTIVE
» Good news: Absorbed in the search to HELP people
» Bad news: Can forget who’s getting HURT
Problem #2:

PROBLEM #2PROBLEM #2
A small number of scientists who will do really bad things to people if society doesn’t protect subjects
![Page 24: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FINDING THE BALANCEFINDING THE BALANCE Most protective to most enabling:
– Consent on ALL subjects in ALL studies– Exception only if:
» High bar for benefit/risk for the individual
» Continued attempts at informed consent
» Community Consultation AND Public Notification – Exception only if:
» High bar is met
» Continued attempts at informed consent
» Public Notification
– Exception only if:» High bar is met
» Continued attempts at informed consent

FINDING THE BALANCEFINDING THE BALANCE– Exception without consent if high bar is
met– Exception if some potential benefit to
individuals in study– Exception if any potential benefit to society– No consent or protection of individual
subjects required at all

Don’t let the PRIMARY barriers get lost in the angst about the SECONDARY barriers– The primary barriers are NOT the
regulations» Inadequate numbers of properly trained career
researchers» Inadequate funding

Example: – Perceived barrier: “I can’t do this project
because I can’t get through the regulatory hoops.”
– Actual barrier: “I don’t have the training, experience, or time (funding) to do this project.”

Recognize that there will always be hoops to jump through– We’ve spent a lot of time WHINING– We should spend our energy joining the
effort to balance and optimize the regulations

TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS Before you start…be emotionally
prepared – After understanding the regulations you
WILL experience the “Three H’s”» HOT» HOPELESS» HOMICIDAL
– You will reconsider that job…

HELPFUL HINTS:HELPFUL HINTS:Tips for InvestigatorsTips for Investigators
Know the regulations – Start with the good papers– Go to the original regulations for necessary
details after becoming familiar with others’ experience
» Don’t start with the fine print
![Page 34: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS Early in your hypothesis development,
begin thinking about specific:– Community Consultation strategies – Notification strategies
» Think of targeted groups» Think of dissemination strategies» Make early connections with media personnel
![Page 35: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS Glean strategies from published experiences
– Example: Community Consultation/Public Notification
» Newspapers» TV ads» Websites» Letters to community leaders» Community Newsletters» Public Meetings» Telephone surveys of random community members» Contacting survivors of the condition being studied» Development of a “community advisory board”
![Page 36: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS
Communicate with the investigators of successful and unsuccessful attempts
![Page 37: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS
Begin educating your IRB administrators/members as soon as you have an idea – It’s never too early
![Page 38: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS Remember that funding agencies will be
IMPRESSED if you have done your homework – They WANT to fund this kind of research– But…they have to follow the rules– They aren’t getting many proposals that request
exception– The well-done exception proposals are “head
turners”– Think of the pain as the necessary investment to
get the BIG ONE
![Page 39: EXCEPTION TO INFORMED CONSENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? AN EMS RESEARCHER’S PERSPECTIVE Dan Spaite](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070418/5697bff11a28abf838cbb1d6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
TIPS FOR INVESTIGATORSTIPS FOR INVESTIGATORS Keep your ear to the ground:
– Regulatory improvements WILL happen– The literature will continue to report helpful
ideas– Watch for conferences and educational
programs
