International Clinical Trials

In 2018, a new regulation protecting citizens’ privacy came into play. The European Parliament and European Council jointly adopted the GDPR on 27 April 2016 and the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018. In essence, this important regulation gives European citizens more control over their own personal data. At the same time, the Clinical Trial Regulation (EU) 536/2014 (CTR) – which will come into force in 2021, once the clinical trials information system becomes fully functional – will reinforce the obligation of publishing data from all clinical trials submitted for marketing authorisation applications to the EMA, regardless of their success or failure. Biopharma industry experts and regulators have debated strategies for the concurrent implementation of GDPR and CTR across the entire product development lifecycle, and considerations abound.
CTR and GDPR Interplay
The interplay between the CTR and the GDPR causes confusion when attempting to understand and interpret both regulations between the member states, institutions, and regulatory authorities involved (1-2). It has been mentioned that in order to strictly comply with the GDPR, each organisation should clearly define its role as ‘data controller’ or ‘data processor’ under the GDPR and subsequently carry out only those tasks that are applicable for a specific role under the regulation. However, it seems that for many stakeholders involved in clinical research, it is still unclear who these data controllers/ processors or joint controllers are and their respective roles.
