Presenter
Jessica Silver, Esquire 

Associate Director, Global Site Agreements, North America and Translational Pharmacology (ESD) Agreements Management, Global Clinical Trials Organization, Merck & Co.

Description

Sponsors are increasingly being asked to sign site forms in order to get access to electronic medical records (EMR) systems or to access an institution’s facilities. Sponsors also may be asked to follow and agree to institution’s policies either through language in the clinical trial research agreements or through language in the site forms. This presentation reviews the complexities of site forms and Institutional policy language from the perspective of a sponsor and sheds light on the need for sponsors and institutions to work together to reach agreement so we can effectively run clinical trials.

Learning Objectives

    1. Understand language which may be problematic to sponsors in site forms and institution policies.
    2. Learn negotiation tactics for negotiating language in site forms
    3. Find alternative paths to problematic language in site forms and institution policies through clinical trial research agreement language
