The tasks of the CCMO
Approximately two-thirds of all research files in the Netherlands are reviewed by an accredited MREC in one of the seven Dutch university medical centers. Relatively few (less than 5%) of research files are not reviewed by an accredited MREC, but are reviewed by the CCMO.
For example, the CCMO
reviews proposals for studies involving Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) and non-therapeutic research with minors and incapacitated subjects. In addition to serving as a review committee and the Competent Authority, the CCMO has several other tasks as defined by Dutch law.
For example, the CCMO serves as the Appeals Body (Dutch: Beroepsinstantie) and as the Oversight Body (Dutch: Toezichtsorgaan). An overview of the various tasks performed by the CCMO is provided in our Infographic “CCMO tasks” (see below).
