What is an investigator Sponsored Trial (IST)?

Generally, Clinical trials can be divided into two groups, according to the type of Sponsor:
The typical industry-sponsored clinical trial, where the trial is conducted by a private entity (who is commonly the holder of the "marketing authorization" of the trial product)
The Investigator Sponsored Trial where the Sponsor is a physical person (physician, nurse, dentist, or other health professional) or a "not-for-profit organization", which can be a governmental body (for example, the National Institute of Health), a public institution (hospital, University, a trust), or a research group.
