Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both Servier staff and/or staff of sponsor and study site) 22. Patient who might be dependent on the sponsor, site or the investigator 23. Patient who has been incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized by court order or by the authorities § 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 4 AMG. 24. Patients who are unable to consent because they do not understand the nature, significance and implications of the clinical trial and therefore cannot form a rational intention in the light of the facts [§ 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 3a AMG]. |
