Prime Review Board

Prime IRB (Prime Institutional Review Board) was an independent, AAHRPP-accredited institutional review board that provided ethical review services for human subjects research. The company specialized in the review of clinical trial protocols, informed consent documents, and investigator qualifications to ensure the protection of research participants. Based in Carlsbad, California, Prime IRB served a diverse client base including pharmaceutical sponsors, biotechnology companies, and contract research organizations. In October 2016, the company was acquired by WCG (WIRB-Copernicus Group), the world's leading provider of solutions that measurably improve the quality and efficiency of clinical research. Following the acquisition, Prime IRB's operations were integrated into WCG’s extensive network of ethical review boards.
