Insurance

The cover you legally can't trial without.

UK regulations require appropriate insurance before a trial can start. We help you understand exactly what you need and arrange the right cover, fast.
The challenge

Clinical trial insurance is a legal precondition for running a trial in the UK, and one of the few compliance requirements that cannot be deferred: without it in place, the trial does not start.

It is also one of the hardest to scope. Cover depends on trial phase, design, participant numbers, indication and geography, and quotes for the same study vary widely between brokers who understand clinical research and brokers who do not.

Most sponsors are not trying to become experts in it. They want the right cover, arranged correctly, evidenced for their regulatory submission, without spending three weeks explaining their protocol to intermediaries.

  3. 3

    Get arranged, fast

    We help put the right cover in place so it's never the blocker.

The detail

For the people who read everything.

We scope what your trial actually requires (clinical trial liability covering harm to participants, plus professional indemnity where relevant) and arrange it through insurers who work in clinical research and understand what they are pricing.

Because we sit alongside your quality and oversight work, the evidence insurers ask for is generally already in the documentation we help you produce. That tends to make the process shorter and the quotes more comparable.

Add-ons

Bought alongside, not instead.

  • Cover review at renewal

    Trials change. We check that what you carry still matches the study you are running rather than the one you designed.

  • Support for regulatory submission

    The insurance evidence packaged in the form your submission requires.

All FAQs →
Do I need insurance to run a clinical trial in the UK?

Yes. UK regulations (the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004) require appropriate insurance or indemnity to be in place before a clinical trial can begin.

What type of insurance do clinical trials need?

Typically clinical trial liability insurance covering harm to participants, plus appropriate professional indemnity. The exact cover depends on the trial's phase, design, and risk.

How much does clinical trial insurance cost?

It varies widely with the trial's phase, number of participants, indication, and risk profile. We help you scope the right cover and arrange competitive quotes rather than guessing.
