Litigation seeking access to data from ongoing clinical trials: a threat to clinical research.


ABSTRACT: Researchers conducting randomized clinical trials may find themselves subject to legal subpoenas for interim data. When a subpoena demands premature disclosure of unblinded data, there is potential for damage to the scientific integrity and reputation of the on-going trial. We describe herein general issues raised by subpoenas for trial data and the particular case of a 2012 subpoena served on investigators from Yale University who were successful in winning reprieve from Connecticut Superior Court.
