Verified Clinical Trials and Chubb Announce Strategic Alliance to Advance Research Subject Safety, Data Quality, and Clinical Trial Success
BOCA RATON, Fla., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verified Clinical Trials (VCT), the global leader in clinical trial subject registry solutions, and Chubb today announced a strategic alliance focused on enhancing research subject safety, improving data quality, strengthening study integrity, and supporting successful clinical trial outcomes.
Chubb's partnering with Verified Clinical Trials, who offers proprietary subject registry technology, is part of a broader clinical trial risk management approach. VCT's clinical trial subject registry solutions are designed to detect and help prevent duplicate enrollment and other important protocol violations at the time of screening - issues that can compromise research subject safety, affect data quality, create operational and regulatory challenges, and increase the risk of study failure.
Key Benefits of the Alliance Include:
- Enhanced Research Subject Safety: Helping reduce the risk of duplicate or overlapping study participation that may contribute to adverse events, drug interactions, and other safety concerns.
- Improved Data Quality: Supporting cleaner, more reliable study data for stronger analysis, decision-making, and regulatory submissions.
- Greater Study Integrity: Helping reinforce protocol compliance and protect against violations that can undermine trial validity.
- Reduced Risk Exposure: Helping sponsors, CROs, and sites mitigate preventable operational, financial, regulatory, and potential liability risks.
- Stronger Potential for Clinical Trial Success: Supporting better-protected studies with a higher likelihood of meeting research objectives.
- Broader Public Benefit: Helping support the development of safer, more effective drugs and therapies for the patients and communities who rely on them.
Chubb is the leading global underwriter of clinical trials and a longstanding market leader that tailors insurance solutions for life sciences companies, with the scale, expertise, and international capabilities to support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies ranging from emerging innovators to some of the largest in the world. Chubb clients can benefit from an additional layer of protection against adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), protocol deviations, and compromised data quality associated with duplicate or undisclosed study participation.
By combining Chubb's clinical trial insurance capabilities with VCT's industry-recognized subject registry technology, this alliance is positioned to provide meaningful, additive benefits to sponsors, CROs, research sites, and ultimately research subjects. Together, these complementary services can help reduce preventable risk, improve research subject safety, strengthen protocol compliance, enhance data quality and study integrity, and support more successful clinical trial execution.
"Research subject safety and data integrity are fundamental to every successful clinical trial," said Dr. Mitchell Efros, Co-Founder & CEO at Verified Clinical Trials. "This alliance with Chubb represents an important opportunity to help bring greater protection, stronger oversight, and added value to the clinical research ecosystem. Ultimately, the broader public stands to benefit as well, as safer, more effective drugs and therapies can be developed and brought forward with greater confidence for patient use."
"Chubb is committed to supporting innovative and practical approaches to risk management in clinical research," said Lee Farrow, EVP, Life Sciences Industry Practice Leader at Chubb. "VCT addresses a longstanding and underrecognized challenge in clinical research: the inability to reliably look into a participant's research history to confirm eligibility. This alliance with VCT reflects a shared focus on improving research subject safety, study integrity, and overall trial performance."
"At Verified Clinical Trials, our mission has always been to strengthen the integrity of clinical research while prioritizing the safety of research participants," said Kerri Weingard, Co-Founder, VP and Global COO of Verified Clinical Trials. "This alliance with Chubb represents a meaningful advancement in how the industry approaches risk - moving from reactive to proactive safeguards. By combining VCT's real-time subject verification capabilities with Chubb's global risk management expertise, we are helping to create a more secure, transparent, and reliable clinical trial ecosystem that ultimately benefits sponsors, sites, and, most importantly, patients."
This alliance represents an important step forward in advancing proactive risk management in clinical trials and underscores the value of collaboration between insurers and clinical trial technology leaders working to improve clinical research outcomes worldwide.
