Key Responsibilities
• Contracting (limited to industry initiated clinical trials).
• VCH Operational Approvals (i.e., Request for Approval to Conduct Research).
• Finance (receipt and deposit of clinical trial payments).
• Other (e.g., VCH Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Research; patient recruitment section on VCHRI website; researchpolicies and guidelines; content of CT Communicator).

Website• http://www.vchri.ca/s/Home.asp
– For Faculty and Staff:• Under the Clinical Research Tab, “Forms to Download Section”, you will find
all VCH operational approval research forms and guidelines, including Clinical Trial Synopsis form.
• Forms and Guidelines are updated on an ongoing basis, so it is always best to download forms and guidelines from the web.
– For Patients:• ACTIVE RESEARCH STUDIES: Researchers now have the ability to post
their research studies on the VCHRI website for recruitment purposes.• As this part of the website has only recently been developed, stats are not
yet available (e.g., average # of hits per month).

What is VCH Operational Approval of Research?
• This approval process allows for the review and approval of research projects that impact or affect any VCH resources.
• This includes research projects conducted by VCH researchers and researchers external to VCH.
• There are 2 main components:– Proof of Ethical Approval– VCH Department/Unit Impact Review
![Page 9: VCHRI Orientation - Office of Clinical Trials ... · • Page 2: All departments affected by the research should be identified. – Researcher discusses the potential impact of the](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b3bf2bbf1cc2de314ac7a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is VCH Operational Approval of Research?
• #1 Proof of Ethical Review:– VCH has an agreement with the University of British
Columbia Ethics Boards to provide ethical review & approval for all research conducted within VCH.
– As part of the Operational Approval process, researchers are required to provide a copy of the Certificate of Approval from the ethics board to VCHRI.
![Page 10: VCHRI Orientation - Office of Clinical Trials ... · • Page 2: All departments affected by the research should be identified. – Researcher discusses the potential impact of the](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b3bf2bbf1cc2de314ac7a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is VCH Operational Approval of Research?
• #2 VCH Department/Unit Impact Review:– The purpose of this review is to identify which VCH
departments are affected by the research and to determine each department’s ability to support the research.

Department Review Processes
• Guidelines summarize the requirements of each department. – Review the guidelines.– Department processes vary (i.e., some departments
require review fees).– Some department review processes are complicated.
• Sometimes, departments make changes, and don’t notify our office.

Renewal, Amendments, and Notice of Study Closure
• As with your UBC ethics, you need to apply for annual renewal through VCHRI.– Renewal consists of a one page form.– Helps us to keep our files up to date, and helps
ensure that you have all necessary VCH department approvals required to conduct research.
• Additional resources required part way through the research study?
• Notice of Study Closure – very helpful if you let us know when your study has been completed.

Who negotiates contracts
For Industry-Initiated Research, which is conducted by VCH Investigators within Vancouver Coastal Health Authority [Confidentiality Agreements, Clinical Trial Agreements, Amendments to Clinical Trial Agreements, Subcontracts, Master Clinical Trial Agreements].
Stephania Manusha Regional Manager, Clinical Trials AdministrationTel: (604) 875-5649Email: [email protected]
For collaborative research agreements, grant-in-aids, service contracts, investigator-initiated clinical research, government and non-profit contracts and agreements, material transfer agreements:

When do I contact OCTA?
• Confidentiality Disclosure Agreements/Non-Disclosure Agreements (CDA/NDA) for Clinical Trials– Agreements to ensure confidentiality of proprietary data that
Sponsor gives to Investigator in order to make a determination as to whether or not he/she will participate in the trial.
– Typically, CDAs are between Sponsor & Investigator only.• In most cases, the OCTA does not see these agreements.• If Investigator would like the CDA/NDA to be reviewed by OCTA
before signing it, we are happy to do so.– Some companies request that the Institution be a party to the
CDA. • In this case, the OCTA must review the agreement before the
Institution will sign.
![Page 28: VCHRI Orientation - Office of Clinical Trials ... · • Page 2: All departments affected by the research should be identified. – Researcher discusses the potential impact of the](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043005/5f8b3bf2bbf1cc2de314ac7a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
When do I contact OCTA?As soon as the Sponsor selects you as a site and the
Investigator agrees to participate in the clinical trial.– Submit a Clinical Trial Synopsis Form. This form provides basic
information about the clinical trial.• Sponsor/CRO contact.• Where the account for this study will be held (at VCHA or UBC).• Some additional information about the trial, to assist us in our review of the
agreement.– Upon receipt of this form, a UBC Rise FAS# is assigned and a file is
opened.
