adequate provisions had been made for [soliciting the assent of the children] [soliciting the permission of the parents or guardians of the
children] as set forth at 21 CFR 50.55. Specifically, ***
The IRB approved a study in which more than minimal risk to children was presented by [an intervention or procedure that did not hold out
the prospect of direct benefit for the subjects] [a monitoring procedure that was not likely to contribute to the well-being of the subjects].
However, the IRB did not [find] [document] that [the risk represented a minor increase over minimal risk] [the intervention or procedure
presented experiences to subjects that were reasonably commensurate with those inherent in their actual or expected medical, dental,
psychological, social, or educational situations] [the intervention or procedure was likely to yield generalizable knowledge about the subjects'

informed consent document. Specifically, ***
The informed consent document did not contain a statement that [participation was voluntary] [refusal to participate would involve no penalty
or loss of benefits to which the subject was otherwise entitled] [the subject might discontinue participation at any time without penalty or loss
of benefits to which the subject was otherwise entitled]. Specifically, ***

United States) law to investigational use
Representations were made in a promotional context that the investigational drug is [safe] [effective] for the purposes for which it is under
investigation. Specifically, ***
The sponsor began a clinical investigation subject to IND requirements before an IND was in effect. Specifically,***
The general requirements for informed consent were not met in that the consent form contained exculpatory language [through which the
subject or the subject's representative was made to waive or appear to waive some of the subject's legal rights] [that released or appeared
to release the investigator, sponsor, the institution, or its agents from liability for negligence]. Specifically, ***
