: The Health and Human Services Office of Human Research Protections determined that the Common Rule does not apply to activities included in the FDA’s Sentinel Initiative. This assessment also applies to Mini-Sentinel activities such as the work detailed in this paper, as Mini-Sentinel is part of the Sentinel Initiative. Because Mini-Sentinel activities are public health activities in support of FDA’s public health mission, they are not under the purview of institutional review boards or privacy boards.
