Firms may not be required to obtain informed consent from subjects being enrolled in clinical investigations, or from their legally authorized representatives, in cases of emergency research for which:
An investigational new drug application or investigational device exemption is required; The human subjects have life-threatening conditions for which available treatments are "unproven or unsatisfactory;" Subjects cannot give informed consent because of their conditions (such as being unconscious); or To be effective, the intervention must be administered before informed consent is given.
