About | Biogen’s mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients. We are grateful to the patients, healthy volunteers, families, hospitals and clinics that participate in the clinical trials for testing our potential therapies. Each individual’s participation contributes enormously to our understanding of disease and has the potential to benefit patients around the world.
Biogen is committed to supporting clinical trial disclosure and responsible data sharing in compliance with global legal and regulatory requirements and in alignment with the biopharmaceutical industry’s principles. |
Studies listed for sharing | Biogen-sponsored interventional clinical trials conducted in patients (phase I-IV) for products and indications submitted and approved in both the United States and the European Union, since 2004. Data will be provided to the researcher pending approval of a research proposal and a Data Use Agreement signed by the lead researcher and institution. |
How we share on the Vivli Platform | Available studies are listed and searchable on the Vivli Platform. Data requestors should use the Vivli Data request form to request Biogen’s data package(s). Deidentified data and documents will be shared under agreements that further protect against participant reidentification and data are provided in a secure research environment further protecting participant privacy. |

Data Request Review Process |
|
Access to study documents without participant-level data | Access to the Clinical Protocol and Clinical Study Report may be provided without participant-level data, upon approval of the research proposal and execution of the Data Use Agreement. |
Anonymization Standards | Anonymization of the datasets is necessary to allow data to be shared ethically and legally, and to maximize their significant social, environmental, and economic value, whilst preserving confidentiality of the individuals who participated in studies conducted by Biogen. We use quantitative risk methodology to prepare anonymized clinical data and documents, following best practices provided by organizations such as PHUSE and TransCelerate as well as regulatory bodies. We discuss with requestors their requirements and expectations, and prioritize information relevant to the analysis plan, as much as the data situation allows, to maintain maximum data utility, whilst observing applicable privacy laws and regulations and safeguarding the privacy of our participants. |
