Each study is assigned an approval expiration date. Generally, a study’s approval period is about 12 months but sometimes (depending on the risk level of the study), the approval period is shorter. All of your approval documents from Sitero IRB will stipulate the expiration date and review frequency.
Please make sure to submit your Continuing Review application through our Mentor portal in time to answer any questions the IRB may have about the study prior to its expiration date.
