Patient participation in the C-BIG Repository is entirely voluntary. Patients may withdraw from any study at any time and are not required to provide any reason for their decision. Withdrawing from a study will have absolutely no impact on a patient's clinical care. If a patient elects to withdraw from the Repository, any materials collected that remain in the bank will be destroyed by the hospital as per current laboratory protocols.
The Repository may be unable to destroy materials that may have already been released for research at the time of the withdrawal request or any information generated from previously distributed samples.
Please Contact Dr. sandeep.vanamala [at] mcgill.ca (Sandeep Vanamala) to request participation withdrawal.
