The Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) is an independent body (a review board or a committee, institutional, regional, national or supranational), constituted of medical professionals and non-medical members, whose responsibility it is to ensure the protection of the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects involved in a trial and to provide public assurance of that protection, by, among other things, reviewing and approving/providing favorable opinion on, the trial protocol, the suitability of the investigator(s), facilities and the methods and material to be used in obtaining and documenting informed consent of the trial subject.
