世界醫療產業龍頭之一的美國於2017年就聯邦法規之受試者保護規範——共通規則完成修法、公告，並預計於2019年施行上路，本文將藉由詳細介紹修法前之共通規則、實務於實踐時遇到之阻礙、修法相關討論及最終之新修規範，並針對「修改告知後同意規定，以促進理解與充分告知」及「允許使用概括式同意」，此次修法中與告知後同意相關之二重要部分進行相關學理討論，以爬梳美國此次修法之脈絡。
最後嘗試借鏡美國之修法歷程並參酌學者之解決方案，提出對台灣現行規範體系與告知後同意相關之修改建議：（一）加強受試者同意書理解化、（二）於告知後同意過程提供理解輔助、（三）修改我人體研究相關法規之規範範圍、（四）新增告知後同意事項，期能使受試者權益保障與生物科技產業之蓬勃發展能和諧進行，亦使相關人員有所依循。

Since the United States completed the revision and announcement of the federal regulations on the subject protection – Common Rule in 2017, and is expected to be implemented in 2019, this article will introduce and analyze the Common Rule before the revision, the obstacles encountered in practice, the public's critique of the common rules, the final revision of the Common Rule, and the two important matters related to the revision : "Change of the informed consent process and elements ", “allow to use broad consent" for relevant academic discussions.
In the end, based on the discussion, this article tried to propose possible revision to the scheme of Taiwan's current regulatory system, and advice to add new elements that should be provided to subjects in the informed consent process.
This article hope that based on these discussion, the current Taiwan standard will be feasible, and can ensure the harmonious development of the biotechnology industry while protecting the right of the human subjects.
