Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)
Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
UNDECIDED
IPD Plan Description
IPD will not be shared in order to protect participant confidentiality, in compliance with local data protection regulations and ethical committee requirements.
Additionally, IPD sharing is restricted under contractual agreements with study sponsors/partners, who retain data ownership for independent analyses.
Given the complexity and size of the dataset (e.g., genomic/imaging data), anonymized IPD sharing is technically unfeasible without risking data integrity.
Furthermore, to safeguard intellectual property rights and permit ongoing secondary analyses by the research team, IPD will be retained internally.
