Prior to AstraZeneca investing in the activity to anonymize the requested information (Clinical data, documents, etc.) for a request, researchers must enter into a Data Sharing/Transfer Agreement with us. The Data Sharing/Transfer Agreement commits the individual researchers to use the data only for the stated research purposes and not to disclose the data to third parties. This is in line with data privacy legislation. In addition, researchers are expected to commit to transparency in the publication of their work. Researchers are required to sign the Data Sharing/Transfer Agreement as part of the collaboration data sharing request.
AstraZeneca seeks to support researchers by providing data with the highest levels of clinical utility, whilst ensuring patient privacy obligations are met. The AstraZeneca Guidelines for anonymization of patient data are derived from the industry best practices today provided by organizations such as PhUSE and TransCelerate, and updated as they continue to evolve to achieve anonymization of clinical data.
In the case of sharing anonymized patient data, please note that the full dataset may not be shared based on our obligations to protect patient privacy. Some potential reasons for partial datasets include:
- Clinical consent for some countries prohibit secondary use of the data
- Patients may withdraw their consent for participation in the trial at any point
- Less than three quasi identifiers are shared per patient
- Other aspects might also be taken into consideration to protect patient privacy as necessary on a per study basis (e.g. review of rare clinical events where information is aggregated to a higher-level before sharing)
Researchers will be notified via the system when it is anticipated that the data for their request will be made available. Time for accessing clinical data depends on the complexity of the Research Request which is influenced by several variables, including: number of studies requested, when were those studies initiated. Decision will be communicated in the system approximately 90 calendar days from a Research Request being submitted.
Finally, AstraZeneca shares clinical data to various environments which needs to be approved by IT security to ensure safety and compliance of AstraZeneca data storage.
