What is usually the intent of a sponsor-investigator or investigator-initiated trial?

  1. To gain FDA approval

  2. To gain scientific knowledge without seeking market approval for the drug

  3. To commercialize the drug

  4. To test the drug's commercial viability

The correct answer is: To gain scientific knowledge without seeking market approval for the drug

A sponsor-investigator or investigator-initiated trial is typically conducted for the purpose of gaining scientific knowledge and data about a drug or treatment, without directly seeking market approval for the drug. Options A, C, and D all involve some form of seeking commercial or market approval for the drug, which is not the main intent of these types of trials. These trials may be funded by the sponsor's own resources, rather than seeking financing or investment from external sources. Additionally, they often involve smaller sample sizes and may be used to explore new potential uses or combinations of drugs, rather than focusing solely on seeking regulatory approval.
