Clinical Data Anonymization
There is a growing demand from stakeholders for transparency, not only about Regulatory Agency deliberations and actions, but also about the clinical data upon which regulatory decisions are based. Therefore, Agencies like Health Canada and EMA have developed guidance on the publication of clinical data using a redaction method (an anonymization technique). Redaction is the process of editing text for publication of clinical trial data in drug submissions and medical device applications publicly available for non-commercial purposes, following the completion of the Regulatory review process.
AXSource can support your organization with
- The procedures to prepare information for release; and
- Classifying information subject to the definition of Confidential Business Information (CBI)/ Commercially Confidential Information (CCI) and protection of personal information.
A Proactive Approach for Clinical Operations
Sponsors are now seeking a more proactive approach for ensuring compliance. Since implementing in-house QA teams can be expensive, the use of third-party auditors in a targeted approach is an excellent option. Using AXSource consultants that are well versed in clinical research and have expertise in regulatory affairs and quality compliance, is the best approach. Having supported numerous companies in GCP, GLP, GMP, GDP and Pharmacovigilance, we know what inspectors look for and support the implementation of GxP framework, gap analyses and support customized training initiatives.
