We are committed to ensuring that all of our clinical trials are conducted in accordance with the highest ethical standards, and we adhere to the principles of informed consent, respect for persons, and beneficence. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews and approves all of our research studies to ensure that they meet these ethical standards.
