Who determines the frequency of continuing review?

The ongoing protection of participants drives deciding how often continuing review happens. The IRB/IEC oversees the trial and uses the study’s risk level, complexity, recruitment status, and any new safety information to set an appropriate review interval. The investigator or sponsor don’t unilaterally choose this frequency, and regulatory authorities don’t fix a single interval for all studies. The IRB can also adjust the interval if new risks emerge or if the protocol changes, ensuring oversight remains appropriate to the trial’s risk.
