Why is GW outsourcing to an external IRB?
GW and MFA want to ensure that all industry sponsored trials are reviewed carefully and in full compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. GW and MFA also want to ensure that such studies are reviewed within a reasonable time after being submitted to the IRB. Because of this, GW and the MFA began discussing the possibility of outsourcing certain IRB services to a commercial IRB in the summer of 2006.
