Before any experimental study can be conducted on humans, the study design must be approved by an independent body responsible for protecting the safety, well-being and rights of the human subjects involved in the experimentation. These bodies are called Independent Ethics Committees in Europe and Institutional Review Boards in the USA; hereinafter, we will use the acronym IEC/IRB to indicate them.
