Comments:

  • The Committee reviewed the Sponsor’s study documents and the comprehensive study-specific Risk Assessment which provided a thorough description of the recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules (“investigational product [IP]”) and the proposed clinical research involving the IP.
    • The Committee agreed that the potential risks and occupational exposure hazards associated with handling the IP in this clinical trial were well-described in the Risk Assessment.
  • The Committee reviewed the Site’s facility details, study-specific procedures and practices, training records, Annual Review Report and other applicable information provided by the Site for the purposes of the IBC review.
    • The Site verified that the information provided by the Chair was accurate.
    • The Site confirmed the accuracy of the Annual Review Report.
