For a research study with no intended clinical benefit to the subject, what information should be included in the Informed Consent Form (ICF)?

A statement regarding potential side effects
Wording indicating that there is no expected benefit should be included
Details about the following treatments available
A plan to provide medical care if needed

The correct answer is: Wording indicating that there is no expected benefit should be included

Including wording that indicates there is no expected benefit in the Informed Consent Form (ICF) is essential for maintaining ethical standards in research. This transparency is crucial because participants need to be fully informed about the nature of the study and what to expect. In studies where there is no intended clinical benefit, it is important for participants to understand that their involvement may not provide any direct advantages, allowing them to make an informed decision about their participation based on their expectations and potential risks. This information helps to establish trust between researchers and participants and emphasizes the importance of ethical research practices. By acknowledging the absence of benefit, the study respects the autonomy of participants and aligns with ethical guidelines that prioritize informed consent and participant welfare.
