Dr. Carlos Rojas, Bradford Hill: A Chile FIH Principal Investigator Is Not the CRO

If you searched Dr. Carlos Rojas Bradford Hill, Carlos Rojas first-in-human Chile, or Sona THT principal investigator, you found a real investigator in the public record. Dr. Carlos Rojas is named by Sona Nanotech as the principal investigator of its first-in-human Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy study and as executive director of Bradford Hill in Santiago, Chile. A principal investigator is not the CRO.

bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the investigator and the site run the cases. The First-in-Human CRO still owns ISP authorization, Law 20.120 Ethical-Scientific Committee review, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package. Emailing the PI is a good way to test investigator interest. It is not a regulatory plan.
