ANONYMIZATION AND REDACTION AUTOMATION
When it comes to submitting data to health authorities or releasing information to the public, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies try to uphold transparency. However, failing to apply best practices when it comes to maintaining confidentiality could lead to the identification of trial participants. This could cause them emotional distress and other negative feelings, or loss of commercial advantage at an organization (translating into a loss of billions of dollars in research and revenue). This is where anonymization and redaction come into play. Anonymization is a broad term that includes subcategories, like redaction. These terms are often used interchangeably, although some differences exist between them.

Redaction and Anonymization with Generative AI
Anonymization is the process of removing information that could be used to identify study participants in both direct and indirect manners, like gender, age, and country, among others. Redaction is a subclass of anonymization that involves data masking to protect clinical trial participants. This can be personally identifiable information (PII), personal protected data (PPD), or sensitive and/or proprietary business information, known as commercial confidential information (CCI). It is important to note that regardless of the masking technique, health authorities, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), have their own rules and guidelines when it comes to permitted levels of anonymization and redaction. Depending on the context and the health authority, anonymization could be done while the study is being conducted or after the documents have been submitted to the governing bodies.
Clinical trial participants’ data are often collected in large databases, like the Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and the Analysis Data Model (ADaM), that contain hundreds or thousands of entries pertaining to the study subjects. The information contained in these datasets is used to develop clinical documents, which could be thousands of pages long or even longer in larger trials. Therefore, these datasets should ensure that participants’ information is masked to avoid identifying the person. So, how can Narrativa’s Generative AI technologies help with this?
The use of Narrativa’s redaction solution will help you anonymize and redact sensitive information with the press of a few clicks. Our solution will scan through the clinical documents, regardless of their size, to determine the information eligible for masking.
With our anonymization and redaction solution, the information of your study population and your organization’s commercial secrets are kept without compromising the policies of health authorities and transparency laws.
