PLAN FOR OBTAINING INFORMED CONSENT TO USE STORED HUMAN BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This multi-center protocol was designed to obtain the appropriate informed consent to archive left-over human biological materials, blood, urine, tissue, or other body fluids, that are collected during all AACTG trials. An additional blood sample may be collected as a source of human DNA for possible genetic analyses. These samples are an important resource for addressing research questions in the future that cannot be anticipated presently. In addition, the specimens represent unique cohorts, which may not be reproducible in the future. No more than 50,000 subjects will be enrolled all across the AIDS Clinical Trials Units.
