Keep Your Study Safe With GDPR and Clinical Trial Data Protection

The protection of personal data is a critical aspect of any clinical trial. We have a comprehensive, global privacy program designed to respect and protect your patients’ personal data.

Our internal privacy program is designed to incorporate data protection in all our processes and procedures with the goal of achieving Privacy by Design for your study. This includes making sure our SOPs, internal documents and contracts are fully compliant with relevant data protection laws. We also incorporate security measures for all internal systems, staff training and other measures to secure core data protection compliance.

Apart from this internal privacy program, our data protection team will guide you through EU and non-EU GDPR controller responsibilities. This includes assistance with EU 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.

Making sure study personnel are fully prepared to perform every task associated with your clinical trial is the central purpose of the training services team. We have numerous filters in place to ensure that training is not only aligned for clearly pre-identified business needs, but that the staff delivering the training is supported and ready to deliver across multiple modalities to create the optimal learning experience.

By employing a five-step training analysis strategy, we make sure that all training has predefined requirements to ensure the most effective use of nonoperational time. Integrating with our quality management system ensures a continuous process of needs identification and support implementation across all departments via KPIs and audit trending direct from source.

What’s more, we are part of the TransCelerate Mutual Recognition (MR) Program for ICH E6 Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Training targeted at investigator site personnel.
