symptoms involved (pedigree studies); (2) to localize and identify specific genes (positional
cloning studies); (3) to develop techniques for determining the presence of specific DNA
mutations (DNA diagnostic studies); and (4) to develop treatments for genetic disease at the
DNA level (gene therapy research).

Page 11 of 12

Adult CIRB Review Application

If an ancillary/companion study is already open, the policy is as follows. If a study requires that
its participants also enroll in an ancillary/companion study, the CIRB must review the
ancillary/companion study. A separate, Ancillary Study Application, the ancillary/companion
study, and associated informed consent document(s) must be submitted to the CIRB for review
and approval. Once an ancillary/companion study has been approved, it will not need to be
resubmitted with each treatment study that it accompanies.
The CIRB will review all ancillary/companion studies whose participation is mandatory for
participants enrolled in an associated main treatment study, regardless of when the
ancillary/companion study was activated and open to enrollment.
The CIRB will not review an ancillary/companion study if participation is optional and the study
was activated and open to enrollment prior to the associated main treatment study’s submission
for CIRB review.
