Melissa Meyer, CCRP
President, IntegReview IRB
"Our new favorite IRB!"

"I wanted to thank IntegReview for their assistance with my project. Unfortunately, we were unable to enroll and I have been forced to close the study, but IntegReview made the process of completing the IRB proposal very straightforward and user-friendly. I look forward to submitting another protocol to IntegReview in the future."

"We have used IntegReview for many years on many studies and have always found them to be extremely quick to turn documents around, and there is always someone there to answer our many questions! The approval documents and ICF footers make version control easy."

House Approves
'Right To Try' Bill for Experimental Drugs 

House lawmakers approved legislation on May 22, 2018 that would allow terminally ill patients to request access to experimental drugs that have undergone early-stage clinical trials but have yet to receive approval from the FDA. The bill, which would not require pharmaceutical companies to provide the drugs, was passed by the Senate last year and now goes to the President for his expected signature.

US Federal departments and agencies have delayed the general compliance date for the 2018 Requirements for an additional six months, for the time period of July 19, 2018 until January 21, 2019. This proposed rule is intended to provide additional time to regulated entities for the preparations necessary to implement the 2018 Requirements.
