Fees for Ethical review
The fees charged by the EC for trial evaluation depend on the Cantonal EC concerned and the study type: e.g.
Lead EC review for industry sponsored projects: up to CHF 7,000
EC review for mono-centre, industry sponsored projects: up to CHF 6,000
Simplified procedure for Cat A trials: CHF 500, up to 5000
(for industry sponsored projects)
Amendments: CHF 200-3000
Non-commercial projects that are only sponsored by the investigator or by non-profit organisations: reduction or waiver is possible.
Additional Information
Each Swiss Canton regulates financing of its competent EC and, therefore, determines its separate charging rates, resulting in wider variations (Art 54 (5) HRA). The particular fees can be found on the websites of the respective ECs.
