Clinical trials confidentiality

Will the information about me from the clinical trial remain confidential?

The information from the trial, including your personal case notes, will need to be checked by the people running the trial. They, in addition to the doctors at your hospital, may include a number of other specialists, people from the pharmaceutical company who produce the test treatment, and possibly people from the national drug regulatory organisations.

However, all your personal details will be kept strictly confidential and you will be identified in the trial only by a code number and not your name.
