The Investigator's Brochure (IB) is a document that serves as a comprehensive reference manual for investigators who are conducting clinical trials. The IB typically contains information about the investigational product being studied, including its pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy data, and other relevant information.
The IB is designed to provide investigators with all the information they need to understand the product being studied and its potential risks and benefits. It also provides guidance on how to conduct the clinical trial, including the study design, dosing and administration, monitoring and assessment of safety and efficacy, and other important aspects of the trial.

3. INTRODUCTION
An Investigator’s Brochure is a collection of clinical and non-clinical data about
the investigational products that are the focus of the study. The brochure
should provide an ongoing insight into the clinical trial study participants
during the duration of the trial.
IB is a comprehensive document summarizing the information about the
investigational product obtained during a clinical trail.
The information should be presented in short, simple, objective, and non
promotional form that enables a clinical or potential investigator to
understand it.
IB is prepared by sponsor and having up to date information about IMP.

4. PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATOR’S
BROCHURE
To provide the information to investigators and other involved in the trial such
as dose, dose frequency or interval methods of administration and safety
monitoring procedures.
The IB also provides insight to support the study subjects, to clinical
management during the course of clinical trial.
For assessment of appropriate proposed clinical trial a medically qualified
person should be participate in editing of IB.
