The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Investigational Drug Service (IDS) is a division of the Department of Pharmacy Services and are devoted to the coordination of human drug research activities at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. This includes developing procedures to ensure timely and safe drug dispensing, maintaining inventory of investigational drugs, blinding and randomizing drug studies, serving as an information resource regarding investigational drugs and study protocols, meeting with principle investigators and study groups, participating in protocols as co-investigators and reviewing protocols as members of the Mass General Brigham Human Research Committee.
IDS acts as an informational resource for other Brigham and Women Hospital pharmacists and clinicians to assist in answering questions and solving dispensing issues with foreign drugs, orphan drugs, continued use of non-FDA approved agents from other institutions and emergency use investigational medications.
