Streamlining Study Start-Up and Continuing Review

To streamline its submission processes, Quorum has reduced its initial site submission documentation requirements and combined two of its forms into one. Please see below for more information.

Decreased Documentation for Site Submissions
As of June 1, 2006, Quorum no longer requires that the following documents be submitted with initial site submission materials:

  • Request for Services letter
  • FDA Form 1572
  • Hard copy of Principal Investigator's Medical License

Instead, Quorum now requests the key data from these documents on Quorum's Site Information Questionnaire. By eliminating the requirement that these items be submitted separately in hard copy, Quorum expects to facilitate the submission of complete site applications that can be reviewed by the Board without delay.

Quorum also no longer requires that sites submit revised 1572's during the course of the study. If your site moves, changes the Principal Investigator, or makes other significant changes we will need more information than is found on the 1572 form. We ask that you report changes as described at: http://www.quorumreview.com/investigators_general_topic.asp#site_changes.

As sites will no longer be required to submit the FDA form 1572 Quorum will no longer send acknowledgements for any 1572 forms received. If your site monitor needs documentation of this policy you can print a statement from our website. The statement can be found with our Investigator Frequently Asked Questions under the question, "How do I submit a change of address or a new facility?"

Site Status Report
When you next receive a reminder that your site is due for a continuing review, you will notice that Quorum has combined our Closing Report and Continuing Review Report into one document, the Site Status Report. We combined these documents in an effort to provide better guidance to sites as to how to report their current status and, if appropriate, apply for Re-Approval. The new report will contain clear instructions for sites to choose the proper avenue - Re-Approval or Closing. If you need additional assistance in completing this form, Quorum has also expanded our Frequently Asked Questions about Continuing Review and Site Closure Document. This FAQ is available on Quorum's website at: http://www.quorumreview.com/investigators_general_topic.asp#cr

You can also find these changes in our online Handbook at www.quorumreview.com. Hard copies of the revised Handbook will be available later in the year.
