Withdrawal must be documented with the subject's stated reason (if given), and any safety follow-up visits required by the protocol must be completed to protect the subject's well-being.

3. A participant's capacity to provide informed consent becomes impaired during the study. What is the PI's primary obligation?
Obtain consent from a legally authorized representative and reassess participant's capacity regularly

When a participant loses capacity, the PI must seek consent from a legally authorized representative and continue to respect the participant's preferences and welfare.

Evaluating whether quality standards and procedures are followed

Quality audits examine whether established standards and procedures are implemented effectively, identifying non-conformances.

5. Under which circumstance must a subject's eligibility typically be re-verified after initial enrollment?
