Data Privacy & Security in the Clinical Trial Context

Cooley cyber/data/privacy special counsel Andrew Epstein was among the presenters for this engaging session, which explored common data protection friction points for life sciences and pharmaceutical companies – from the clinic to exit – domestically and internationally. Attendees also took away practical strategies to manage data protection risks and leverage data in the context of conducting clinical trials.

The presenters discussed, among other things:

  • Drafting and operationalizing privacy notices, including in an effort to address future data use/sharing cases.
  • Contracting with trial sites and vendors such as contract research organizations and labs.
  • Developing cybersecurity and data governance strategies.
