11. Secure local approvals
EAGLE STUDY SET-UP
Step 4
Secure local approvals
1. Identify what regulatory approvals are required at your hospital to set-up the EAGLE study. If you are unsure, please discuss with your head of department or your hospital’s research office. Your EAGLE coordinator is also available to support you through these steps.
2. Once you know what approvals are required, please enter these details on the Site Registration Form.
3. Apply for the approvals you require.
4. Once approvals are confirmed, update details on the Site Registration Form.

13. Focus on ethics & consent
EAGLE STUDY SET-UP
Focus on ethics & consent
The approvals needed to set-up EAGLE will vary across the world according to national laws and hospital regulations. Your EAGLE Coordinator will support you through these processes, as required.
In some countries EAGLE will require research ethics committee review.
If you submit to a research ethics committee, you should emphasise that EAGLE is a low-risk study, evaluating an educational package delivered to clinical staff. EAGLE does not require any changes to the treatment patients receive, any additional tests/ data collection, or any additional follow-up.
Many research ethics committees may agree to waive the requirement for patient consent. This is because the intervention is being delivered at the hospital-level rather than patient-level. In addition, EAGLE will not require any changes to clinical care or follow-up and the study will only collect routinely available data, which will be anonymised.

14. Confirm hospital readiness
EAGLE STUDY SET-UP
Step 5
Confirm hospital readiness
1. On the Site Registration Form confirm that all your hospital’s EAGLE team have been trained and are ready to commence data collection.
2. On the Site Registration Form confirm agreement to the EAGLE ‘conditions of participation’.
It is mandatory for all EAGLE team members to be trained prior to commencing the study. Team members can either complete the Site Set-up Pathway, or alternatively training can be delivered directly by the local site Surgeon Principal Investigator.
The EAGLE ‘conditions of participation’ are a small number of key regulatory conditions that all participating hospitals must agree to and these are explained in the Site Set-up Pathway (this webpage).

16. EAGLE STUDY SET-UP Step 6
Commence EAGLE!
1. Once your Site Registration Form is fully completed, you will receive an AMBER LIGHT, indicating that your site is ready to be randomised.
2. Once a batch of hospitals have an amber light, the EAGLE Coordinating Office will:
Randomise the hospitals and inform hospitals of their randomisation.
Issue logins to the REDCap case report form.
3. Your hospital’s EAGLE team will then be invited to a GREEN LIGHT teleconference with your EAGLE coordinator. This will set out the next steps for your site and give you the GREEN LIGHT to commence data collection.
4. Once you start data collection, ensure every eligible patient is captured and all data fields are completed.
5. At the appropriate time you will be sent a login to the online educational modules. Your EAGLE Coordinator will support you to ensure all surgeons who perform right colectomies have completed the online training modules.
