The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
announcing the availability of a draft
guidance entitled ‘‘Certificates of
Confidentiality; Guidance for Sponsors,
Sponsor-Investigators, Researchers,
Industry, and Food and Drug
Administration Staff.’’ This draft
guidance is intended to explain FDA
implementation of the revised statutory
provisions applicable to the request for,
and issuance of, a Certificate of
Confidentiality (CoC). The 21st Century
Cures Act (Cures Act) amended the

statutory provisions relating to the
issuance of CoCs. A CoC is intended to
help protect the privacy of human
subject research participants from
whom sensitive and identifiable
information is being collected or used in
furtherance of the research. Historically,
a CoC generally protected a researcher
from being compelled in a legal
proceeding to disclose identifiable
sensitive information about the research
participant, created or compiled for the
research. As amended, a CoC prohibits
a researcher from disclosing such
information unless a specified exception
applies.
Submit either electronic or
written comments on the draft guidance
by January 9, 2020 to ensure that the
Agency considers your comment on this
draft guidance before it begins work on
the final version of the guidance.
Submit electronic or written comments
on the proposed information collection
burden in the draft guidance by January
24, 2020.
