Since the introduction of EMA’s Clinical Data Publication Policy, sponsors have been grappling with a unique problem – the timely and accurate capture and protection of personal and commercial data contained in clinical trial documents. As this information is often dense, varied, and buried in lengthy unstructured text, its post-hoc protection through redaction or statistically derived transformation can pose a significant challenge.
As public document disclosure becomes an integral part of the clinical trial lifecycle, sponsors could proactively reduce this burden by incorporating best practices in writing transparency-friendly clinical documents. Join Abby McDonell, Sr. Program Manager with IQVIA’s Clinical Trial Transparency Team (powered by Privacy Analytics) to gain some actionable insights on how to optimise your medical writing processes to simplify downstream disclosure and transparency initiatives whilst ensuring participant and commercial data privacy remains protected.

To secure approval from data protection authorities for post-marketing medical device studies, W.L. Gore needed to demonstrate how future study data could be effectively anonymized after the mandatory 15-year retention period. This necessitated the use of cutting-edge techniques, including advanced modeling and identifiability assessment strategies. Working with trusted partners and the Italian data protection authority, W.L. Gore successfully navigated the complexities of anonymizing data that had yet to be generated, paving the way for regulatory approval.
