German term or phrase: erstbewertende Kommission
Hello everyone!

I am looking for assistance on the correct translation of the appropriate term. I haven't managed to find it yet and I believe I may have translated it inappropriately in the past.

For more context, I think the following link may be of assistance, but for reference:
http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/ethik/download/Hinweise_zur_An...

"*Welche Ereignisse im Ablauf einer Studie sind der lokalen Ethik-Kommission anzuzeigen?*
Grundsätzlich sind der Ethikkommission alle wesentlichen Vorkommnisse schriftlich und innerhalb von 24 Stunden anzuzeigen, die eine Abweichung vom erwarteten Verlauf der diagnostischen und/oder therapeutischen Maßnahmen darstellen.
Hierbei ist es unerheblich, ob das Vorkommnis in direktem oder indirektem Zusammenhang mit der Durchführung der Studie steht. Davon unabhängig besteht die Meldepflicht, wie sie im jeweiligen Studiendesign festgelegt ist.

*Was ist bei Multicenterstudien (Nicht-AMG, NICHT-MPG) zu tun, für die bereits das Votum einer erstbewertenden Ethik-Kommission vorliegt?*
Bei multizentrischen Studien, für die bereits ein positives Votum der Ethik-Kommission des Studienleiters vorliegt, verzichtet die Ethik-Kommission nicht auf eine eigene Begutachtung, zieht jedoch das vorliegende Votum in Betracht."

I presume that they are referring to the first committee among a number of national committees for a multicentre trial to reach a decision, but I wonder if there is a more concise term?

Thanks!

multicentre clinical trial leader ethics committee prior positive vote:

Eurecnet - Information - Germany
archive.eurecnet.org/information/germany.html
According to AMG § 40 Sect. 1, 2nd sentence, clinical trials may only commence if there is a prior positive vote by an ethics committee. If no such vote is given, the trial may only commence if the competent authority the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte, hereinafter referred to as BfArM) as indicated in § 77 Sect. 1 AMG) does not gain, within a period of 60 days.

- As far as multi-centre trials are concerned a problem existed with the AMG because there were no legally binding guidelines of how to handle a situation where different regionally competent ethics committees involved in the same multi-centre study came to differing conclusions in terms of the ethical evaluation. According to § 20 Sect. 7, 2nd sentence, the vote of just one ethics committee is enough to fulfil the preconditions of the MPG in the case of multi-centre trials. § 92, 3rd sentence StrlSchV and § 28g, 3rd sentence RöV delineate, that in the case of multi-centre trials, the vote of one committee is sufficient.

Note to reference poster
Asker: There is still some time until I am able to award points, so based on the above and the comment, would "leading ethics committee" be an appropriate translation from your view? The early benefit assessment seems very specific to the BfArM processes, and not necessarily to a clinical research project, so am hesitant to use it, but am so grateful for all the valuable material that you have extracted!
