Clinical Trials Support FAQs
No. BRPC consents participants to our main biobanking protocol and releases samples to investigators with approved IRB protocols that specifically mention BRPC as a resource for samples and/or data.
Yes. BRPC adds Duke staff to our protocol after performing a consent training and collecting necessary documentation for the IRB. This allows study teams to use their own staff for consenting patients, while using BRPC to collect samples.
BRPC staff can collect samples for research studies without being added to a specific study in the IRB. The BRPC main consent can be used for sample collection depending on the investigator's approved IRB protocol and the consent method that has been approved. However, the study team may consent the patient to the study-specific protocol, and the approved BRPC biobanking protocol does not need to be used at all.
