Termination of IRB Approval
An action of the convened IRB, Institutional Official/Organizational Official or designee of the Institutional Official/Organizational Official to permanently withdraw IRB approval of all research procedures (except for those follow-up procedures that may be necessary to protect the health and/or welfare of participants). Terminated studies are permanently closed and no longer require continuing review. Note: Similar actions taken by investigators or sponsors to stop research activities are not considered terminations.
