12) ANCILLARY REVIEWS:

Please review the following sections to confirm or determine if any ancillary reviews are required. For any ancillary reviewer other than IBC, please share the IRBNet submission with the ancillary reviewer. Although the IRB may grant a “conditional approval” of the research when ancillary review is required, the research CANNOT begin until the IRB has granted final IRB approval after all required ancillary reviews are complete.

A. UHB Pathology Laboratories: NOTE: The criteria for the requirement of pathology ancillary review and approval were clarified on June 30, 2017.

Check the box below to indicate whether the research involves any of the following: At least one box MUST be checked.

(12a1) Services or assistance of the UHB Pathology Laboratories (Clinical Laboratory, Histology Lab and/or Surgical Pathology).

(12a2) Prospective collection of fresh specimens that require processing by UHB Pathology Laboratories, including tissue, blood and fluids (see UHB Exempt Tissue Policy: “LAB3 Human Tissue Fluid and Foreign Matter Exempt From Submission for Pathology Examination”, which may be viewed or downloaded at: http://www.downstate.edu/pnp/lab/policies.html )

(12a3) None of the above. UHB Pathology Laboratories ancillary review is not required.

If uncertain about the need for Pathology Review, please email Susan Gottesman & Caitlin Otto for a determination. If they state Pathology Ancillary review is not required, attach the e-mail determination to the IRB submission.

If box “12a1” or “12a2” is checked above, please indicate which past IRBNet package contains UHB Pathology Approval:

If box “12a1” or “12a2” is checked above and this project has not yet received UHB Pathology Approval, do the following:

Step 1: a) Refer to the UHB Pathology Instructions, Forms, and Fees posted in IRBNet/IRB Website. Application for Amendment (07.05.2017) Page 13 of 18 SUNY Downstate Medical Center Institutional Review Board Note: These will be posted on the Pathology website in the near future and removed from the IRB website. b) Complete and submit “Step 1 Form: Preparation for Use of UHB Laboratory/Patient specimens for Research Projects: Clinical, Histology, and Surgical Pathology Labs Feasibility Determination” to Pathology.

Step 2: a) Complete and submit the IRB application after the UHB Pathology Laboratories approves the feasibility of using their services to obtain IRB approval. b) When submitting the IRB application in IRBNet, please share the IRBNet submission with the pathology representative so that (s)he may e- sign the submission. E-signature is required before the IRB can grant final approval.

Step 3: After IRB and Biosafety (if needed) approvals are granted, complete and submit the “Step 3 Form: Protocol of UHB Laboratory Use/Patient specimens for Research Projects: Clinical, Histology, and Surgical Pathology Labs. Your pathology approval number will be then assigned.

Caution: If any changes are required after final IRB approval, an amendment must be submitted to the IRB.

B. Biosafety Approval: NOTE: The criteria for the requirement of IBC ancillary review and approval were clarified on December 12, 2016.

 All research involving the use of Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules, infectious agents, human cells or body fluids, or hazardous substances must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) to ensure that all applicable biosafety standards are met. Early submission of the protocol to the committee is advisable to allow time for any necessary clarification, revision and reconsideration, and approval. The IBC will determine if the study requires approval from the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee. For more Information: Please contact Ms. Lydia Bailey at the IBC Office at (718) 270-3912 or [email protected].  Protocols involving work with human-derived biological materials that are collected by and handled, processed, analyzed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory are exempt from IBC review. However, any work on human-derived biological materials (including packaging and shipping) in Research laboratories at DMC is subject to IBC review.  If your study requires Institutional Biosafety Committee approval or NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee approval, your study cannot be approved by the IRB until you have received the applicable approvals.

i. Does your study require approval from the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC)?

No to (B.i.), this study does NOT involve recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, infectious agents, human cells or body fluids, or hazardous substances.

No to (B.i.), this study involves infectious agents, human cells or body fluids, or hazardous substances; however, all materials are human-derived and are collected by and handled, processed, analyzed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory.

Application for Amendment (07.05.2017) Page 14 of 18 SUNY Downstate Medical Center Institutional Review Board Yes to (B.i.), this study involves the use of recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, infectious agents, human cells or body fluids, or hazardous substances and the materials are not collected nor handled by a (CLIA) certified laboratory.

ii. If YES was selected to (B.i), please indicate the status of your IBC approval the study or is the review pending?

I have already received approval from the IBC and previously submitted said approval to the IRB for their records. Submitted in Package #:

I have already received approval from the IBC BUT I have not previously submitted said approval to the IRB for their records. Therefore, I am attaching said approval to this package.

I have not yet obtained approval from IBC approval. HOWEVER, I have an application pending with the IBC.

I have not yet obtained approval or applied for approval from the IBC. The IRB recognizes that the requirements for when IBC approval has changed on December 12, 2016. Check the following as it pertains to your study:

All of the research interventions with participants and specimens are complete and there are no interactions with research participants, no use of specimens, no storage or shipment of specimens, and no plans to publish in a journal that requires documentation of IBC approval. If this box is checked, please notify the IBC of this determination. Submit a copy of the IBC approval letter to the IRB for acknowledgment within 30 days of receipt of IBC approval.

Ongoing research still involves interactions with research participants, use of specimens, storage or shipment of specimens, or plans to publish in a journal that requires documentation of IBC approval. If this box is checked, please submit an application to the IBC for this research activity within 30 days and submit a copy of the IBC approval letter to the IRB for acknowledgment within 30 days of receipt of IBC approval.

NOTE: If IBC approval cannot be granted within 60 days of the IBC submission, the IRB recommends the PI voluntarily suspend the research until IBC approval is granted and notify the IRB and IBC of the suspension. Voluntary suspensions by the PI are not reportable to the US Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP); however, if the IRB determines lack of IBC approval is serious or continuing non-compliance or if the IRB must suspend or terminate IRB approval, the Downstate Institutional Official must report the event to OHRP, and when applicable report to the FDA and Sponsor.

If the above box was checked, indicate whether IBC approval will be requested?
