I just recently received a drug study agreement for a study involving the use of
a FDA approved drug.  The agreement is in very basic language but does not
include an indemnification agreement.  The drug is not being studied for new
usage but will be used as it was federally approved.  I have put in a call to th
e
company to see if they will supply us with an indemnification agreement.  And I
have asked our legal department to review.  Unfortunately, our attorney's turn
around time is any where from 2 weeks to infinitum.  I don't want to hold this u
p
anymore then I have too, considering the rest of the agreement is very simple.
what is the general consensus regarding indemnifications for FDA approved
drugs.
thanks
