Is your study a clinical trial?
- Does it involve human subjects?
- Are subjects prospectively assigned to an intervention?
- Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the subjects?
- Is the effect being evaluated a health-related outcome? (biomedical or behavioral)
If the answer is "yes" to all of the questions above, then you are conducting a clinical trial.
For information on the clinical trials process at Villanova, please email IRB@villanova.edu.
