NCI Version 6/9/11 GOG Study Chair: Michael Gold, M.D. michael.gold@vanderbilt.edu ACRIN Study Chair: Mostafa Atri, M.D., Dip., Epid. Mostafa.atri@uhn.on.ca IRB Review Recommendation: ( ) No review required ( ) Expedited review; however, site IRB requirements take precedence (X) Full board review recommended because there have been modifications to the eligibility criteria and consent. Please direct questions about the recommended level of IRB review to your local IRB. The local IRB is responsible for making this determination. If your local IRB does not agree with the GOG s recommended level of review, please document the IRB s decision, and the rationale for the decision, in your study files In addition to routine updates for grammar and consistency, Amendment #9 & #10 addresses feedback from the participating sites, introduces an imaging-guided biopsy, clarifies that the sites need to submit primary cancer biopsy stained slides as well as reports for retrospective GOG review, and clarifies that two central reader studies will be performed. Additionally, changes have been made in response to CTEP s mandate to convert all CTCAE v3.0 studies over to CTCAE v4.0 by a certain date. The changes are to inform
