Safety 

Our corporate commitment is to protect the rights, safety and welfare of research subjects. Protocols involving pharmacokinetic reactions will be sent to an IRB consultant for additional safety review.  This no cost service ensures that all protocol reviews are conducted by an expert in the associated field of medicine.  All IRB consultants work on a 48 hour turnaround and will not hold up the processing of your submission.

 

All serious adverse events (SAEs) reported to the IRB are processed through a safety surveillance committee.  This team of medical professionals will review, identify trends and report issues or concerns to the IRB board for recommendations.  SAE submission forms are downloadable from our website and may be accessed at anytime.

 

Budget

Selecting a Central Independent IRB, like Principal IRB, adds significant financial incentives to a

multi-site study.  Fees associated with the processing of a study are reduced  for all sites reviewed after the initial submission. Our competitive pricing allows Principal IRB to keep you on budget.

 

Schedule 

In the field of clinical research, time is money.  Principal IRB conducts weekly meetings. Study materials received by Friday at noon of the prior week will be reviewed the following Thursday. 
Sites will receive notification of IRB decisions the following day.
