What's New

Legacy studies now online
All active historical (legacy) studies are now in the new OCREB Online (O2) system – https://ocrebonline.ca. This means that study staff may now submit online any post-approval applications (e.g., amendments, renewals and reportable events). For these historical studies, you will see that most of the mandatory questions in the application forms are populated with "see legacy data" and there are no attached documents. These can be updated over time as amendments are submitted.

If you plan to submit a centre application on any of the existing historical studies already in the system, please let OCREB know as soon as possible. We will have to ensure that those are updated with expanded data.

Simultaneous provincal & centre approval of amendments
For provincial amendments submitted via OCREB Online, all participating centres will be approved at the same time that the provincial approval is issued. Centre-specific applications for amendments will not be required. At the time of the first amendment in O2, all participating centres will be transferred to the provincial consent form.

Remember that the application is a living document and any changes, including updated IBs, are considered amendments. The first time the provincial applicant creates an amendment, in addition to the required amendment revisions, you will need to upload the currently approved documents (e.g., wallet cards, protocol, IB(s), PM(s), consent(s), and questionnaires). At this time, you will not need to modify the application fields except where the amendment warrants it.
