Injury Issues in Clinical Research
from Massachusetts Biotechnology Council
This event has passed.
Thursday, June 26, 2008, 8:00am - 10:00am
Recent articles in the mainstream press have raised issues regarding protections for subjects who volunteer to participate in clinical research, most notably compensation for ongoing medical care for subjects who are injured by adverse events. Sponsors may assume that they have insurance coverage for these events, or that the subject's health plan will take care of the medical expenses. Oftentimes this is not the case.
Our panel will provide an overview of current US legal requirements for subject injury compensation, discuss an IRB's perspective, a sponsor's approach to handling these situations and provide an update on Sponsor insurance coverage for subject injury.
Panelists:
- Maria D. Buckley, Of Counsel, Nutter, McClennen & Fish LLP
- Dennis J. LaCroix, Managing Counsel - Compliance & Healthcare, Genzyme Corporation
- Ty Howe, Vice President and Life Science Practice Leader, Marsh Life Sciences
- Frances Miller, Professor of Law, Boston University School of Law and Of Counsel Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP
