Dear Dr Isabelle, Thank you for raising this issue, I am really concerned with this situation that have met us and will meet us more in the coming years.
I first would like to divide the studies that did not take REC approval prior to conduction into 2 major categories:
The first one includes studies that meet all the requirements to be ethical but all the problem is that this is not reviewed and approved by REC prior to initiating the study " I mean if these studies had been submitted to REC they would have been approved without any needed modifications"
The second category includes studies that if had been submitted to REC they would have needed some modifications to be approved or even not approved at all" . So this category is unethical from the start !!
And actually I am "sympathizing " with the first category ,that it is a real loss of efforts. specially in our countries many institutes have their own REC just been developed".
But in the same time I completely emphasize that research MUST take REC approval before any step to be initiated,for the sake of what we all know.
Waiting for your responses
May be we can find a way to help
Thanks and Regards
Noha Asem
