What does IDE stand for in the context of clinical trials?

  1. Investigational Device Exemption

  2. Innovative Device Evaluation

  3. Immediate Device Examination

  4. Investigational Drug Evaluation

The correct answer is: Investigational Device Exemption

An IDE refers to an Investigational Device Exemption, which is a special permit granted by the FDA to allow for the clinical investigation of a new medical device. B and D are both incorrect because they refer to "device" and "drug," respectively, in place of "exemption." C is incorrect because it does not include the word "exemption," which is a key component of the acronym IDE.
