Some references I used for a paper in Research Management Review in 1995 included:

Silverman, W. A.  "Human Experimentation:  A Guided Step into the Unknown."  (Oxford:  Oxford University Press, 1985).

U.S. National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, "The Belmont Report:  Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research."  (Washington, DC, US Govt. Printing Office, 1978)  --reprinted in Federal Register, Vol 44, April 18, 1979, 23192.

Faden, R.R. & Beauchamp, T. L. "A History and Th eory of Informed Consent."  (New York, NY:  Oxford University, 1986).

Each of those references will likely point you to others.
