Compass IRB is an Independent Review Board established to protect the rights and welfare of Human Subjects that participate in clinical trials. As new medicines are being developed, they must be tested on humans, before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will grant final approval. The Federal Government established specific regulations to help ensure that individuals who participate in these “clinical trials” are protected. As an IRB, we work with pharmaceutical companies to ensure their research project is created in a way that will minimize potential harm to the research subjects. 

The ultimate goal is to ensure subjects are protected. Compass IRB does this in several ways. In the beginning of any study, the entire research proposal goes through a strict review that ensures all applicable Federal Regulations have been met. In addition, all physicians that will conduct these research studies are required to submit certain documents to the IRB to ensure they are adequately qualified. Perhaps the main function for the IRB is to review and approve the Informed Consent Form (ICF). The ICF is the actual document that summarizes the research project to the perspective subject, and must be created in a way to allow the individual to make an informed decision on the benefits and risks of participating. Compass IRB takes the review of these ICFs as paramount to protecting subject safety.

Compass IRB is located in Mesa Arizona, we work with pharmaceutical companies and doctors throughout the United States.
