A new online system from the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies aims to help life sciences companies obtain clinical trial liability insurance documentation more quickly and easily. The new system, Chubb WORLDcert, allows drug and medical device developers to secure required insurance documentation for clinical trials around the globe.
