- This IRB audit training will discuss the common deficiencies identified during FDA audits of IRBs, and potential solutions with case studies.
Why Should You Attend:
In the last few years, FDA found some IRBs to be highly deficient in compliance leading to Warning Letters and even closure of a few. A deficient IRB not only delays a clinical trial progress but if found during the conduct or after a trial is over could lead to major losses in data, time and cost, not to mention the loss in credibility of the sponsor with the FDA for not assuring compliance of all parties involved in their clinical trials. Recently FDA released a new guidance document describing its expectation from IRBs.
This course will list the criteria for evaluating the compliance status of the IRB supervising your clinical trial sites based on FDA’s latest guidance document. We will discuss current regulations and guidance documents governing IRB responsibilities, roles, common FDA concerns, and acceptable solutions. The presenter will use a case-study approach to explain common compliance deficiencies and solutions for addressing them.
