News overview
New procedure PUC review
Recently, a new method for the PUC review has been implemented. PUC stands for 'Protocols Executability Committee'. The aim is to determine whether a new HOVON study is feasible locally. This is done by reviewing a number of study documents from participating hospitals prior to submission to the EC. Examples of this are protocol, patient information, manuals for pharmacy and laboratory, nursing protocol, declaration form and, since 1 November 2021, also the VGO (Declaration of Suitability Research Institution).
New procedure site selection
The new procedure 'Site selection HOVON studies' has recently been implemented. This replaces the previous procedure (from 2013) and aims to have clearer, objective criteria for the distribution of HOVON studies across the sites.
