ADHERENCE TO THE HIGHEST ETHICAL STANDARDS

It is essential for CROs to have, at the minimum, basic familiarity of the requirements of the EC/IRBs (Ethics Committees/Institutional Review Boards) for clinical investigations. EC/IRBs are guided by three major ethical principles derived from the 1976 Belmont Report: Respect for Persons, Beneficence, and Justice.

The Biotex CRO provides expertise and guidance on the regulatory requirements needed for EC/IRB submissions for US and Outside US (OUS) investigations. Additionally, we provide support in developing the required documentation for submission, such as the Clinical Investigation Plan (CIP)/protocol, Informed Consent Form (ICF), HIPAA Authorization Form, Investigator’s Brochure (IB), and other similar documents.

Justice

The principle of justice addresses the distribution of all burdens and benefits involved with research. For example, one group in society should refrain from bearing the risks and costs of research while another group receives its benefits. It’s important to consider this principle when performing site selection as a Sponsor and consenting subjects as a research site. Both sites and participants should represent the overall desired patient population.

Beneficence

For clinical research, beneficence ultimately means keeping the interests of research subjects in mind, minimizing risks, and maximizing all benefits to both research subjects and society. It’s a principle that requires research professionals and clinicians to provide positive benefits to the best of their ability and prevent (or remove when possible) harmful conditions from research subjects and patients.

Respect For Persons

Respect for Persons consists of two distinct principles: that individuals should be treated as autonomous, and individuals with diminished autonomy should be entitled to additional protections. It implies that participants should be presented with relevant information in a comprehensible format before they can voluntarily agree to participate.
