Risks covered
We understand the complexity, urgency, and specific risks involved in every stage of a clinical trial. Our Clinical Trials insurance solutions provide protection for the sponsors/organisers of clinical trials for drug and medical device testing, covering their legal liability to pay compensation in the event of an injury to a trial participant.
Our team of specialist underwriters, risk consultants, and claims experts — which includes pharmacists and (bio)chemists — support the underwriting of trials worldwide and throughout all phases of a trial: this is complemented by our speedy and reliable quotations and documentation which is crucial for clients in this specialist segment.
We cover liability for all phases of clinical trials for drugs and medical devices as well as non-compulsory studies arising from negligent harm to trial participants or non-negligent harm (also known as no-fault compensation).
Underwriting is based on the agreed protocol and informed patient consent form (ICF) which describe the objectives, design, methodology, statistical considerations, and organization of a clinical trial.
