Guidance for CIRB Protocol Deviation/Non-Compliance Report Form
This report form should be submitted to the CIRB once PI is aware of the protocol deviation/non-compliance but no more than 14 calendar days. All sections must be completed.PIs are obliged to suspend their research immediately pending their report to the IRB if deviations are substantial or will likely result in greater harm or greater likelihood of harm to the subjects.
Definitions
Protocol Deviation: is an unplanned excursion from the protocol that is not implemented or intended as a systematic change.
  • A protocol deviation could be a limited prospective exception to the protocol (e.g. agreement between sponsor and investigator to enrol a single subject who does not meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria). Like protocol amendments, deviations initiated by the investigator must be reviewed and approved by the IRB and the sponsor prior to implementation, unless the change is necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to the human subjects.
  • Protocol deviation is also used to refer to any other, unplanned, instance(s) of protocol noncompliance. For example, situations in which the investigator failed to perform tests required by the protocol or failures on the part of the subjects to complete scheduled visits as required by the protocol.
Non-Compliance: is a failure by an investigator or any study team member to abide by the policies and procedures of CIRB or applicable regulations governing the protection of human subject research. Some examples of non-compliance include but are not limited to:
  • Failure to obtain prior approval for research
  • Failure to obtain renewal of approval for research
  • Failure to obtain informed consent when required
  • Failure to use the latest CIRB approved version of the protocol or consent form
  • Failure to report an adverse event report according to the CIRB timeline and procedure
  • Performance of research at an unapproved study site
  • Performance of a drug trial without a valid HSA Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA), Clinical Trial Notification (CTN) or Clinical Trial Certificate (CTC).
  • Any other failure to adhere to regulations, policies and procedures related to research
