A trial approved by a qualified ethics committee in one country would not need to repeat the full review in another; the second country would accept the first review and check only local issues.
Building on the EU Clinical Trials Regulation single-assessment model and the US single-IRB requirement, a treaty or regulatory reliance agreement would allow ethics committees in participating countries (EU, UK, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Japan) to rely on a lead committee's scientific and ethical assessment, with local review limited to consent language, insurance and site suitability.
