JAUSAS advises pharmaceutical Laboratories and CROs on the application and monitoring of the Farmaindustria's Code of Practice "Código Tipo"

01/06/2010


Sectors and Practice Areas: Health & pharmaceutical , Information technology and telecommunications

The Código Tipo is the first regulation for the pharma industry relating to data protection centred around its most sensitive activities: research and pharmacovigilance. Through this self-regulation instrument the different protocols to be followed are established, setting out options on what procedures to adopt for arm's length or coordinated relationships with research centres and CROs.

Pharmaceutical companies and CROs are the chief target of the Código Tipo, and thus called upon to abide by it. However, notwithstanding the establishment of guidelines and directives, compliance with this code requires an in-depth understanding of both regulation governing personal data protection and applicable legislation covering research activities.

JAUSAS enjoys a long-standing track record in advising the pharmaceutical sector on the subject of data protection. Our professionals, who are highly specialised in this matter, assist businesses in implementing and monitoring the Code of Practice through the following services:

- Prior analysis of pharmaceutical companies' and CROs' position to determine the implications of subscribing to the Code of Practice.

- Designing standardised operational procedures to aid in the implementation and monitoring of the protocols set out in the Código Tipo.

- Ongoing tailored attention to resolving issues arising from this Code .

- Training of pharmaceutical company and CRO personnel on the content and duties established by the Código.
