The purpose of the information collection is to conduct reviews of clinical trial studies. NCI guidelines mandate the participation of institutions
in the CIRB for Network group studies. You are being requested to complete this instrument so that we can conduct activities involved with
the operations of the NCI CIRB Initiative. Although your participation in Network group research and completion of the forms is voluntary, if
you wish to participate in the CIRB, you must complete all questions on the form. The information you provide will be combined for all
participants and reported as summaries. It will be kept private to the extent provided by law.
NOTIFICATION TO RESPONDENT OF ESTIMATED BURDEN
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of
information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of

Section 1: Unanticipated Problem Determination
Background: OHRP and FDA regulations require reporting of unanticipated problems
involving risks to subjects or others (45 CFR 46. 103(b)(5) and 21 CFR 56.108(b)(1)).
OHRP Guidance defines an unanticipated problem as being
(A) unexpected,
(B) related or possibly related to participation in the research, and
(C) placing participants or others at a greater risk of harm.
3.

Reviewer Analysis (A) “unexpected” – Is the incident, experience, or outcome
unexpected (in terms of nature, severity, or frequency) given (a) the research
procedures that are described in protocol-related documents, such as the IRBapproved research protocol and informed consent document; and (b) the
characteristics of the subject population being studied?
NOTE: Findings from planned interim analysis are not considered “unexpected”.
Yes, it is unexpected. -- Provide an explanation.
No, it is not unexpected. -- Provide an explanation.

4.

Reviewer Analysis (B) “related or possibly related to participation in the research”
– Is the incident, experience, or outcome related or possibly related to
participation in the research (possibly related means there is a reasonable
possibility that the incident, experience, or outcome may have been caused by the
procedures involved in the research)?
Yes, it is related or possibly related. Provide an explanation.
No, it is not related or possibly related. Provide an explanation.

5.

Reviewer Analysis (C) “places subjects or others at greater risk of harm” – Does
the incident, experience, or outcome suggest that the research places participants
or others at a greater risk of harm (including physical, psychological, economic, or social
harm) than was previously known or recognized?
Yes, there is greater risk of harm. Provide an explanation.
No, there is not a greater risk of harm. Provide an explanation.

6.

Reviewer Determination Regarding Unanticipated Problem
If you have answered Yes to all parts of question one (A, B, or C), the incident,
experience, or outcome is an unanticipated problem.
If you have answered No to any part of question one (A, B, or C), the incident,
experience, or outcome is not considered an unanticipated problem.
Reviewer Recommendation regarding Unanticipated Problem Determination:

July 2018

Adapted from ePanel© 05/13/13, updated 07/17/2017

Yes, it is an Unanticipated Problem because it meets all three criteria above.
No, it is not an unanticipated Problem because it does not meet all three of the
criteria above
7.

Additional Considerations - Regardless of whether or not the event constitutes an
unanticipated problem, please consider the following:
Are appropriate steps being taken to notify participants or others affected by the
incident, experience, or outcome of any information that would impact
participants’ willingness to continue in the research?
Yes, describe what steps are being taken.
Not Applicable
No

8.

If No, should participants be notified of this incident, experience or outcome?
Yes, describe what steps are being taken.
No

Section 2: Serious or Continuing Noncompliance Determination
Background: OHRP and FDA regulations require reporting of serious or continuing
noncompliance (45 CFR 46. 103(b)(5) and 21 CFR 56.108(b)(2)).
9.

The CIRB SOPs define “noncompliance” as a failure to meet the requirements of
Federal regulations pertaining to human subjects protection and/or the
requirements and decisions of the CIRB. Is the incident, experience, or outcome
evidence of noncompliance?
Yes, Explain and complete questions 10 and 11.
No, Explain and go to question 12.

10.

The CIRB SOPs define “serious” noncompliance as noncompliance that adversely
affects the rights and welfare of study participants or results in any untoward
medical occurrence that meets the criteria of “serious” or significantly impacts
the integrity of study data.
Serious is defined as side effects that may require hospitalization or may be
irreversible, long-term, life-threatening, or fatal. The CIRB may also consider as
serious those events which, based on appropriate medical judgment, may
jeopardize the patient or subject and am require medical or surgical intervention
to prevent one of the outcomes above..
Is the incident, experience, or outcome evidence of serious noncompliance?
Yes, Explain and complete questions 10 and 11.
No, Explain and go to question 12.

11.

The CIRB SOPs define “continuing” noncompliance as a systematic and habitual
disregard of the requirements of Federal regulations pertaining to human subjects
protection and/or of the requirements or decisions of the CIRB. Continuing
noncompliance is an indication of a pattern that, if unaddressed, could jeopardize
the rights and welfare of research participants or the integrity of the study data
due to noncompliance with the protocol, Federal regulations, and/or the
requirements of the CIRB. Is this incident, experience, or outcome continuing
noncompliance?
Yes, Explain and go to question 12.
No, Explain and go to question 12.

Additional Considerations
Regardless of whether or not the event constitutes serious or continuing
noncompliance, please consider:

incident, experience, or outcome of any information that would impact
participants’ willingness to continue in the research?
Yes, describe what steps are being taken.
Not Applicable
No, explain.

13.

If No, should participants be notified of this incident, experience, or outcome?

FDA.
