Canton, Mich.– TrialAssure® – a global software company focused on developing clinical trial transparency tools-announced the limited release of ANONYMIZE DS, an all-new software-as-a-service (SaaS) application that allows sponsors to anonymize clinical trial data automatically. This application was discussed during a presentation by Zach Weingarden at the PhUSE Connect 2019 Data-Driven Science conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
“In order to share data, it has to be done in a way that protects patient privacy. TrialAssure’s ANONYMIZE DS solves an industry-wide problem of balancing this need while maintaining the data’s utility,” says Weingarden. “TrialAssure is one of the first groups to automate the anonymization of datasets, and we will continue to stay at the forefront of the market with new technology methods.”
TrialAssure ANONYMIZE DS:
“The pharmaceutical industry is moving towards sharing data more openly. Health authorities and scientific journal editors alike may require greater levels of data transparency in the not-so-distant future,” says Mohamad Zahreddine, CIO, TrialAssure, and member of the Forbes Technology Council. “Sharing this patient-level data for greater consumption will only improve the Good Pharma Scorecard for any company that uses our software.”
With a simple design and rule builder function, ANONYMIZE DS saves sponsors time by allowing users to build a library of custom, reusable variables and reapply the same anonymization rules across studies. This saves valuable time and resources, especially with larger drug development pipelines where multiple studies share the same variables. As the library continually develops, the process becomes more efficient.
Once a sponsor determines which data fields to anonymize, the software will perform an analysis and assign a risk score. This analysis can be saved and replicated for future use, making the decision-making process easier.
ANONYMIZE DS is part of a fully-integrated suite of transparency tools, allowing information to be shared among health authorities without compromising patient privacy. “In the age of big data, research organizations can leverage pre-existing, anonymized data to speed-up the development process for life-changing medicines,” Zahreddine adds.
TrialAssure ANONYMIZE DS is now available to select sponsors for limited release, with full deployment scheduled for fall 2019. To be part of the limited release, submit an inquiry at www.trialassure.com/contact-us

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
