The Responsible Party can be either a sponsor, principal investigator (PI), or sponsor/investigator. The term "responsible party" is either of the following:

  1. Sponsor. Name of the primary organization that oversees the implementation of the study and is responsible for data analysis. For applicable clinical trials, sponsor is defined in 21 CFR 50.3.
    - or -
  2. Principal Investigator. The individual who serves as the principal investigator and is designated as responsible party, consistent with the conditions described in the statute.
    - or -
  3. Sponsor-Investigator: The individual who both initiates and conducts the study.

For further elaboration on the definition of these roles with respect to responsible party, see http://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov/ElaborationsOnDefinitions.pdf.

The fields displayed in the Sponsor/Responsible Party section depend on your selection of the Responsible Party role:

  • If you select Sponsor, you do not submit any further information about the Responsible Party.
  • If you select Principal Investigator, this section expands to display the investigator's title and organization affiliation. The system populates the Investigator's Name field with the name you selected as Principal Investigator in the Lead Organization/Principal Investigator section.
  • If you select Sponsor-Investigator, this section expands to display the investigator's title and organization affiliation. Although the system populates the Investigator's name field with the name you selected as Principal Investigator in the Lead Organization/Principal Investigator section, you can select another person for this role.
