neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: you'd probably get away with that term, but it is definitely not the standard. (BTW: "investigating physician" AND "clinical trials" gets 2 UK googles, FWIW, compared to over 10,000 for 'investigator)

neutral  Dr Sue Levy (X): "physician" is American general term for medical doctor and can lead to confusion with British term which means specialist in internal medicine
