Organizing and conducting clinical trials comes with numerous challenges for project managers, sponsors, and other stakeholders. Among these tasks is ensuring that the trial and its participants are adequately insured, a requirement almost always mandated by law or contracts. Timely and accurate insurance coverage prevents delays in risk assessment and documentation, which could otherwise significantly disrupt the trial’s progress.
While insurance may seem like a straightforward task, varying regulatory requirements and country-specific complexities can make the process unexpectedly demanding. This is where Baerkraft excels. With over 20 years of experience in clinical trial insurance and a broad network of insurers and CROs, Baerkraft provides not only the necessary insurance coverage but also hands-on support for optimizing processes and ensuring compliance.
This article will show how Baerkraft helps make the insurance process efficient, reliable, and stress-free, so you can focus on what truly matters: the success of your clinical research.
On the surface, insuring a clinical trial may seem like a standard administrative task. However, a closer look reveals numerous challenges that must be addressed to ensure a smooth and timely insurance process.
First, there are the extensive regulatory requirements that vary significantly depending on the country and type of trial. In the European and German contexts, for example, the requirements are defined under the Medicinal Products Act (AMG) and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Navigating these rules requires precise knowledge of legal frameworks and insurance policies, not only for trial-specific insurance but also for related policies such as product liability for sponsors, general liability for CROs and study sites, and professional liability for investigators. Regulations in other jurisdictions can differ substantially, adding to the complexity.
Insurance is therefore more than a procedural step; it is a critical part of trial planning. Coverage is valid only for the specified version of the study protocol and patient information. Ethics committees and regulatory authorities require a valid insurance certificate for the version of the protocol to be approved. Any changes to risk-relevant details must be reported to the insurer, understood by them, and confirmed with a certificate before the protocol can be submitted for approval. Failure to manage and update risk information can halt the entire trial and lead to significant costs that, in worst cases, far exceed the insurance premiums.
