Harmonizing Global Biospecimen Consent Practices to Advance Translational Research: A Call to Action.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the many challenges of translational medicine is working with research participants to donate biospecimens through an ethical informed consent framework. The increasingly complex ethical and regulatory differences across jurisdictions translates into limitations on use and potential value of biological specimens and their associated data in clinical research. We introduce a call to action for more uniform global standards for collection of biological specimen informed consent data to enable greater advancements in medical research.

Towards a Common Informatics Framework for Biorepositories
Many biomedical research laboratories, departments and organizations struggle to manage data in biospecimen repositories that supply basic and translational research. Biorepository information systems have been developed from a variety of perspectives, and are often difficult to integrate or network within and across organizations due to lack of structural and semantic alignment with standards....
متن کاملAn NCI perspective on creating sustainable biospecimen resources.
High-quality biospecimens with appropriate clinical annotation are critical in the era of personalized medicine. It is now widely recognized that biospecimen resources need to be developed and operated under established scientific, technical, business, and ethical/legal standards. To date, such standards have not been widely practiced, resulting in variable biospecimen quality that may compromi...
متن کاملNational Cancer Institute Biospecimen Evidence-Based Practices: a novel approach to pre-analytical standardization.
Variable biospecimen collection, processing, and storage practices may introduce variability in biospecimen quality and analytical results. This risk can be minimized within a facility through the use of standardized procedures; however, analysis of biospecimens from different facilities may be confounded by differences in procedures and inferred biospecimen quality. Thus, a global approach to ...
متن کاملEthics Reporting in Biospecimen and Genetic Research: Current Practice and Suggestions for Changes
Modern approaches for research with human biospecimens employ a variety of substantially different types of ethics approval and informed consent. In most cases, standard ethics reporting such as "consent and approval was obtained" is no longer meaningful. A structured analysis of 120 biospecimen studies recently published in top journals revealed that more than 85% reported on consent and appro...

This article contends that legitimacy in the exercise of power comes from the consent of those subject to it. In global health, this implies that the participation of poor country citizens is required for the legitimacy of major actors and institutions. But a review of institutions and processes suggests that this participation is limited or absent. Particularly because of the complex political...
