Under Study A, bone marrow was collected from two non-human primates at seven different timepoints. Monthly bone marrow collections were not in the approved protocol nor the subsequent amendments. The two NHPs did not experience more than momentary pain or distress from the procedures and collections were conducted per facility SOP. A proposal to conduct an activity involving animals must include a complete description of the proposed use of the animals to ensure pain and distress is minimized and procedures are performed within established facility policies and SOPs. Corrected by protocol amendment prior to the time of inspection. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the facility representatives.
