When Should You Consider Closing Your Study?

Are you bogged down by all the regulatory and reporting responsibilities that you have for your clinical studies?... then clean out your clinical research portfolio. If your study has been completed on the GCRC, please close it!

You should consider closing your study on the GCRC when:

• You no longer require GCRC resources
• Accrual is complete
• All study procedures are complete
• Please note- you can continue data analysis with a closed GCRC study

Note: You do not have to close your IRB application. IRB applications generally need to stay active until all data analysis is complete. By closing your study on the GCRC, you no longer need to send us any IRB documents or other regulatory correspondence.

How Notify the administrator. Contact information is listed in the Quick Help box above. Thank you!

We need to make room for new studies so we may close your study for you if there has been no activity:

• If the study does not show any census for one year, the study may be moved to "inactive" status, and a new Protocol Implementation Meeting (PIM) must be held to re-activate the study and schedule patients. Notification of this event will be sent to the study investigator.
• If a study shows no census for two years, the study may be closed, and a new application must be resubmitted to re-activate the study. Notification of this event will be sent to the study investigator.
• All studies expire five (5) years from their approval date and require a new application review by the GCRC Scientific Review Committee to continue.
