PROVIDING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTIGATOR-INITIATED TRIALS

Investigator Initiated Trial (IIT) refers to submission of an unsolicited clinical trial proposed and sponsored by an Investigator at a hospital, medical center, medical school, private foundation, private practice, group practice, or government-sponsored research network. Support is awarded based upon scientific merit, as well as alignment with our areas of interest.

IIT submissions are accepted on a rolling basis by Taiho Oncology and evaluated by an internal review committee on criteria such as scientific merit, safety, legal, ethical, and budgetary aspects. The IIT submission portal is exclusively for the submission of trial requests.

Taiho Oncology may withdraw support if a Sponsor-Investigator fails to comply with applicable legal and or regulatory obligations, provide false information in the proposal, or otherwise specified in the contract.

Sponsor-Investigators are responsible for all study related medical decisions, trial design, regulatory approval, initiation/conduct/oversight, data analysis, publications, and reporting of adverse events.

All Sponsor-Investigators who are awarded support must provide Taiho Oncology with timely study updates as defined in the contract, a final written study report and notification of all publications (e.g., posters, abstracts).

Sponsor-Investigator provides the clinical study report and ensures that all contract terms are fulfilled prior to study closure. Including:

  • Financial reconciliation of the study budget
  • Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee close out letter
  • Documentation that all unused medicinal product was destroyed as per institutional policy
  • Adverse Event reconciliation

Final written report detailing the methodology and results of the trial as specified in the contract.

Notification of all publications (e.g., posters, abstracts) should be provided as specified in the contract.

Investigator-Initiated Trials support by Taiho Oncology is only provided in response to an unsolicited written request and not conditioned on the use, purchase, prescribe, or recommendation of any Taiho Oncology product.

Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis and must align with our areas of interest in Aesthetics, Consumer Care and Prescription medicine. Only products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may be provided to support IISs.
