CRC — Clinical Research Coordinator or study coordinator is an entry-level position responsible for conducting clinical trials and managing the day-to-day activities.

CRF — Case Report Form is a paper or electronic questionnaire used in clinical trial research to collect dates from participants. DLT — Dose Limiting Toxicity is defined to be a toxicity that prevents further administration of the agent at that dose level. It reviews data collected in clinical trials and ultimately determines whether drugs and devices are approved to go to market.

Form — Inspectional Findings is an FDA Form that may be issued following a site inspection to note possible violations. It is not published on the FDA website and does not require a written response, although it is encouraged. This set of guiding principles ensures everyone who participants in clinical studies receives the protection they deserve. ICF — Informed Consent Form is used to ensure everyone involved in clinical research is a willing participant with full knowledge of the potential risks and benefits to the extent that this is possible.

IDE — Investigational Device Exemption allows a devise that has not been cleared for marketing to be used in a clinical study to collect safety and effectiveness data. All clinical evaluations of investigational devices unless exempt, must have an approved IDE before the study is initiated. These visits occur periodically throughout the clinical trial according to the monitoring plan. IND — Investigational New Drug program is the means by which a pharmaceutical company obtains permission to start clinical trials and ship an experimental drug across state lines before a marketing application for the drug has been approved.

IRB — Institutional Review Board oversees ongoing clinical trial research to ensure that the rights and welfare of human subjects are protected. MP — Monitoring Plan outlines the protocol for monitoring a specific clinical trial, including how often monitoring visits will occur and what must be documented in monitoring visits.
