Privacy compliance and clinical trials

INTRODUCTION
Clinical trials are challenging by definition. Even though any clinical research entails a certain degree of uncertainty regarding its potential success, several clinical trials challenges come with opportunities for improvement and are major drivers of innovation.

PRINEOS srl proposes this column with the aim of spreading greater awareness about challenges and opportunities for improvement in clinical trials, addressing several crucial topics in this context.
Our journey starts with the topic “Privacy Compliance and Clinical trials” as privacy compliance has been (and may still be) quite challenging for all stakeholders involved in clinical research, considering also the lack of a general legal framework on this subject.
