To administer a Clinical Outcomes Assessment (COA) in a clinical trial – whether it is the original version, a translation, or in an electronic format – sponsors and practitioners should evaluate whether they need to obtain permission to use it via a specific license.
Seeking such permission would seem to be a straightforward process; however, because rights may be transferred at various points in the life of a COA and because there are usually so many stakeholders involved in the development, management, distribution and use of COAs, the identification of COA copyright holders remains a challenge and a pain point for clinical study teams.

In addition to copyright identification, users of COAs must ensure that they can get access to qualitative information about the COAs and their derivatives such as translations or e-versions. COAs are validated, scientific tools grounded in qualitative research with patients, and access to reliable information and materials about the COAs will be paramount. One may think it is the responsibility of the copyright holders to provide such valuable information; however, in practice, this is not always the case.

In this webinar, the speakers will cover some of the fundamentals of copyright protection, how it applies to the COAs for their use, translation, and electronic implementation to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and good practices and will provide some insight as to the due diligence process that needs to be conducted to mitigate risk of copyright infringement and misuse of the COAs.
Register for this webinar today to understand the fundamentals of copyright protection and mitigate risk of copyright infringement and misuse of clinical outcome assessments (COAs).
