BRPC supports clinical trials by collecting fresh biospecimens, providing research protocol support, releasing preexisting biospecimens from our bank, and accessing archival tissue samples for use in clinical trials.

BRPC staff can collect samples for research studies without being added to a specific study in the IRB. The BRPC main consent can be used for sample collection depending on the investigator's approved IRB protocol and the consent method that has been approved. However, the study team may consent the patient to the study-specific protocol, and the approved BRPC biobanking protocol does not need to be used at all.
