Informed Consent Form Clinical Trial

Overview

CaseMark's Informed Consent Form generator uses AI to draft comprehensive, IRB-ready consent documents for FDA-regulated clinical trials. It automatically structures all required regulatory elements under 21 CFR 50.25 and ICH-GCP guidelines into a plain-language document that research subjects can readily understand. From study purpose and visit schedules to risk tables and HIPAA authorization, every section is generated from your uploaded protocol and investigator brochure.

Drafting informed consent forms for clinical trials is one of the most time-consuming regulatory tasks in clinical research. Each ICF must address dozens of required elements across FDA regulations, ICH-GCP guidelines, and HIPAA requirements—all written in plain language accessible to lay participants. Manual drafting often takes days, involves multiple revision cycles, and risks omitting critical regulatory elements that delay IRB approval.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of ICF creation by extracting study design, risk profiles, and procedural details directly from your protocol and investigator brochure. The AI assembles a complete, regulation-compliant consent document with structured tables, plain-language explanations, and all required sections—ready for your team's review and IRB submission in a fraction of the traditional time.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your clinical trial protocol and investigator brochure

  2. 2. AI extracts study design, procedures, risks, and site details

  3. 3. CaseMark drafts a complete IRB-ready ICF with all required regulatory elements

  4. 4. Review, customize, and export in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does the generated ICF comply with FDA regulations?

Yes. CaseMark structures every ICF to include all required elements under 21 CFR 50.25(a) and additional elements under 50.25(b), as well as ICH-GCP guidelines. You should still have your IRB and regulatory team review the final document before submission.

What reading level does the consent form target?

CaseMark generates ICFs written at or below an 8th-grade reading level, using plain language throughout. This meets FDA guidance and IRB expectations for ensuring research subjects can meaningfully understand the consent document.

Can I use this for different trial phases?

Absolutely. CaseMark supports ICF drafting for Phase I through Phase IV trials, IND studies, and other FDA-regulated protocols. The AI adapts the risk-benefit framing and procedural detail based on the trial phase and study design you provide.

Does the ICF include HIPAA authorization language?

Yes. CaseMark automatically includes a HIPAA authorization section covering the use and disclosure of protected health information for research purposes, aligned with 45 CFR 164.508 requirements.

How long does it take to generate a complete ICF?

CaseMark typically generates a comprehensive, multi-section ICF in approximately 10-12 minutes. This replaces what traditionally takes hours or even days of manual drafting and formatting.

Can I customize the output for my institution's IRB template?

Yes. After CaseMark generates the ICF, you can review and edit every section before exporting. Many users adapt the output to match their institution's specific IRB template requirements and branding.
