What is the sponsor's responsibility in relation to trial participants?

The sponsor’s main obligation is to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants by designing and managing the study with risk-appropriate safeguards. This means implementing risk-proportionate approaches, such as risk-based monitoring and safety management, to identify, assess, and mitigate potential harms while ensuring participants’ rights (like informed consent and voluntary participation) are upheld and their welfare is prioritized throughout the trial. Monetary compensation for participation or injuries, publicly disclosing participant identities, or restricting data access solely to the sponsor would not align with these safeguards. Compensation decisions depend on local rules and injury specifics, confidentiality requires protecting participant identities, and data access involves stakeholders beyond the sponsor (investigators, ethics committees, regulatory bodies) to ensure proper oversight.
