Clinical Research Ethics Committee (CEIC)
The Research Ethics Committee (CEI) with medicines (CEIm) of the Bellvitge University Hospital supervises all the centers of the Integral Health Consortium (CSI).
The arrangements between the CSI researchers and the Bellvitge CEIm are coordinated by the CSI Clinical Epidemiology service.
What type of study must be submitted to the CEIm?
Evaluation and approval, if applicable, by the CEIm is always mandatory to obtain Management's approval in any type of research conducted with CSI patients.
For any research project to be submitted to the CEIm, contact should be made through the following form and send the protocol of the project, with the identification of the contact of the promoter and the person who will perform the functions of principal investigator in the CSI.
Documentation necessary to present a project
The documentation required to present the protocol of a clinical trial, a post-authorization study (EPA) or any other type of research project can be consulted in the document:
