Ethics Committee Submission Tracker Agent

No activity runs under an unapproved version and renewals are submitted before they lapse

Ethics Committee Submission Tracker Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Studies get into trouble when an amendment is used before ethics approval or a renewal lapses. This agent tracks every amendment and renewal against its submission and approval dates. It compares the documents in use, such as the protocol, consent form and recruitment text, to the approved versions on file. If any activity occurs under an unapproved version, it flags it with the date. It drafts submission cover notes and checklists for amendments and renewals and tracks committee replies. After a reply it rechecks that the new versions are filed and in use. The principal investigator approves each submission. Edge case: the committee approves the amendment with a required wording change, so the agent holds the consent form as not yet usable.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A document is usable only when its version matches an approval letter on file. Renewals are due 60 days before expiry.

  • Flag any activity dated before an approval date
  • Draft a renewal 60 days before expiry
  • Treat approval with required changes as not yet usable
  • Compare version numbers and dates, not file names

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Renewal lead time (default 60 days)
  • Document types tracked
  • Committee contact details
  • Weekly check day

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Submissions to the committee
  • Notes about activity under unapproved versions

Hard limits

  • Never submits to the committee
  • Never decides a deviation is reportable

It stops when

  • Done: all documents approved and filed
  • Stop: approval letters are missing

An example run

What happensAmendment 4 was submitted February 2 and approved March 1. The agent found two participants consented March 20 using the old form, so the activity check failed. It drafted a note for the PI and flagged the old form as retired. A renewal was due May 30 and the agent drafted the package by April 1. The PI approved both. The committee asked for wording changes, which the agent held.
