Pistoia Alliance Publishes Free Guide to Accelerate the Implementation of FAIR Principles in Clinical Data

Boston, 25 January 2023, The Pistoia Alliance, a global, not-for-profit alliance that advocates for greater collaboration in life sciences R&D today launched its freely accessible FAIR4Clin guide. The guide will help clinical regulators, biopharmaceutical and healthcare organizations to implement the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) in clinical datasets. The diversity of data types, standards, and regulatory and privacy requirements, combined with the huge volume of clinical datasets, has presented a particular problem in life sciences R&D. The guide emphasizes the value of FAIR to the clinical space, including making data machine-readable to support AI, innovating in clinical trial design, and enabling the transfer of data between sponsors, CROs, and regulatory agencies. FAIR4Clin was co-authored by the Pistoia Alliance and leading experts in the field, including from AstraZeneca, Bayer, Roche, Genentech, Galapagos, The Hyve, Elixir, The University of Manchester and Oxford University.
