IRB - A group of scientists, physicians, ministers and patient advocates that reviews and approves the detailed plan for a clinical trial. IRBs are designed to protect people participating in a clinical trial. They check that the study is well designed, legal and ethical, does not involve unnecessary risks and includes a patient safety plan. Every healthcare facility that conducts clinical research has an IRB, and every study is reviewed by an IRB before the study begins. Also called Institutional Review Board
