Dear Kotoji,

I send you the corrected protocol with comments and also inform you:

1.      We plan the Study in 75 pharmacies in Tbilisi and 15 municipalities of 7 regions (There are 9 large regions in our country, which include 75 municipalities)

2.      In addition to me, coordinators from Eastern and Western Georgia will participate in the study:

·         Tata Sirbiladze –coordinator of  eastern Georgia ([email-masked])

·         Irina Gobejishvili - coordinator of  Western Georgia ([email-masked])

3.      In our country, only bio-medical studies need the consent of the National Council of Bioethics. These types of studies do not need to be agreed with the Bioethics Council.

Best wishes,

Marine

Dear Marine,

We hope this email finds you well.

It is great that we can proceed with the study.

By 2 October, could you please provide information for a few parts in the attached protocol for GEO, the information statement?

The information required are

-the number of regions you plan to include,

-name and contact of investigators if there are more investigators than you,

-if you plan to submit the protocol for GEO to a local ethics committee for their approval – this requirement depends on the countries. If not needed, please provide the reason/justification, e.g, according to the national legislation.

After your review with the input, we will submit all the documents for GEO to WHO ethics committee for their approval.

Thank you very much for our collaboration.

Best regards,

Kotoji
