Initiation Package
Welcome to INCbase! As part of the INCbase network you will have the opportunity to collaborate with investigators from around the world. Together we will learn about CIDP in a way that has not previously been possible.
Each center is responsible for obtaining local regulatory approval. If your center is part of a country with multiple INCbase sites, a national coordinating center has been designated to help streamline the approval process. You can find the centers that are currently members of INCbase here. We encourage you to work with your national coordinating center as regulatory requirements may vary between countries.
Within this welcome package you will find templates that can be adapted to your local requirements. If you have a national coordinating center please be sure to check with them. Your national coordinating center may have templants that are more appropriate for your region.
In the initiation package you will find:
- A template version of the study protocol for obtaining ethical approval (IRB)
- A template version of patient information and informed consent forms
- INCbase Data Registry and Biomaterial Policy
We advise you to contact and submit the INCbase Regulatory Agreement to your institution’s legal department at an early stage as the process of reviewing agreements can be lengthy in some cases.
If you have any questions or remarks about the initiation package please contact us at info@incbase.org.
