[Translated article] Design and validation of two instruments to analyze and evaluate the formal quality in the informed consent process of clinical trials with medicinal products.
Farmacia Hospitalaria 2023 March 17
OBJECTIVE: The activity of sponsors and Ethics Committees for Research with medicines has increased in recent years. The objective was to design and validate 2 instruments to analyze and evaluate the formal quality of the patient information sheet and the informed consent form of clinical trials with drugs, in accordance with the legislation.
METHODS: Design (Guideline for good clinical practice and European and Spanish regulations); validation (Delphi method and expert consensus: concordance ≥ 80%); reliability (inter-observer method, Kappa index). 40 patient information sheets/informed consent forms were evaluated.
RESULTS: Very good concordance was obtained in both checklists (k ≥ 0.81, p b 0.001). The final versions consisted of checklist-patient information sheet: 5 sections, 16 items and 46 sub-items; and checklist-informed consent form: 11 items.
CONCLUSION: The instruments developed are valid, reliable and facilitate the analysis, evaluation, and decision-making on the patient information sheets/informed consent forms of clinical trials with drugs.
