Indemnification and insurance issues are frequently overlooked when parties are negotiating a clinical trial agreement. However, they are important, and this presentation highlights certain aspects which must be considered, such as which individuals and entities should be indemnified, and the breadth of that indemnification. The presentation also addresses insurance policies covering injury to a trial participant. The terms of such policies vary considerably, and policyholders are well advised to review them carefully to maximize coverage. Moreover, while some companies may wish to avoid purchasing coverage for clinical trials, certain jurisdictions require such insurance. This audio conference provides an overview of the key indemnification and insurance issues to address when negotiating clinical trial agreements.

This audio conference covers:

• Determining the extent of indemnification being provided to another party in a clinical trial agreement
• Determining whether there are special requirements concerning insurance for the trial
• Variations in the insurance policies covering clinical trials
• How insurance needs may differ when conducting a clinical trial abroad
