What Types of Clinical Research Does Sterling IRB Review?
For 30 years, Sterling IRB has served as the institutional review board for studies in every phase and therapeutic area, from Phase I through post-market research. Our board brings scientific and nonscientific expertise to the questions that newer study designs raise, including:
- AI in clinical research: We look at how AI-powered tools affect informed consent, data privacy, and model transparency, guided by the same established principles we apply to every innovation
Decentralized clinical trials: We review hybrid and fully decentralized designs, including eConsent and remote identity verification and safety oversight for participants outside traditional sites - Nutraceutical and dietary supplement clinical trials: We provide thorough ethical review for products that fall outside traditional drug pathways
- In vitro diagnostics and medical devices: We support diagnostic, device, biologic, and gene therapy studies, with regulatory consultation to help keep device timelines on schedule
- Vulnerable populations: We review research involving prisoners, cognitively impaired persons, pregnant women, and children
Whether your study runs at one site or many sites across the U.S. and Canada, you’ll have a dedicated account manager and a board that meets daily, so complex designs get timely, thorough review.
