TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Advancing institutional review board (IRB) and informed consent form (ICF) approval isn’t a matter of chance; it’s often the result of planning, precision and partnership. This webinar brings together leaders from both the IRB and pharmaceutical sponsor perspectives to discuss what truly drives smoother, faster and more compliant approvals.
In this practical discussion, the featured speakers will share lessons learned from hundreds of submissions and real-world examples of what can make or break ethics reviews, particularly around submission and the ICF process. Attendees will walk away with a sharper understanding of both the science and the art behind successful IRB engagements.
Those who have experienced the frustration of multiple rounds of IRB revisions, or the anxiety of looming trial start dates, will find this webinar valuable in demystifying what IRBs prioritize and how sponsors can meet those expectations without losing agility.
Whether responsible for protocol authorship, regulatory submissions or patient-facing materials, this session will sharpen participants’ ability to anticipate concerns and present submissions that pass the first time.
