What access should the investigator have to data provided by the sponsor?

Having access to data is essential for the investigator to protect participants and run the trial properly. The study team needs timely access to data provided by the sponsor so they can monitor safety, assess how the trial is progressing, and check that the protocol is being followed. This includes not only data generated at the site but also relevant information from external sources that can contextualize safety signals or efficacy findings. With timely access, investigators can spot adverse trends early, make informed decisions about continuing or adjusting treatment for participants, and ensure appropriate reporting to ethics committees and regulators. Delaying access until after the trial ends would prevent timely action on safety and trial conduct, and limiting access to internal site data or excluding external data would deprive the investigator of the full picture needed to protect participants and maintain data integrity.
