Description
An email containing personal data from trial participant MVX01023 at site 01 (St Vincents University Hospital) was sent to another individual who was also participating in the trial. The email was an internal site referral email in order to refer the participant to the relevant clinical team for appropriate clinical follow up and contained the participants name, DOB, MRN and lab results (syphilis and gonorrhea). The personal information was contained in the body of the email.

The email was sent on Friday 3-Jan-2025 at 18.03 from one of the study research nurses. The email was intended for and sent to a number of members of the Infectious Disease clinical team and in error the incorrect recipient was added. The research nurse who sent the email was not at the time aware of the error.

The incident was detected on 06-Jan-2025 at 09:30 when one of the cc&#39;d Infectious Disease (ID) registrars’ phoned the research nurse indicating a wrong email address might have been included in the referral email.
The Research Nurse (RN) checked and confirmed it was an incorrect email address cc&#39;d. The incorrect email address belonged to another participant of the study.

The individual who received the email incorrectly, emailed the RN on 03-Jan-2025 at 18:29 stating that they may have been sent a wrong email as the name was not theirs, and confirmed that they had deleted the email. The RN phoned this individual on morning of 6-Jan-2025 to apologize, and they confirmed again over the phone that they deleted the email.

On 06-Jan-2025 at approx. 13:30 the RN informed the CRC Lead Nurse at SVUH and the Infectious Disease (ID) Team and the Principal Investigator regarding this incident and it was agreed to contact SVUH Data Protection Officer for guidance. The site DPO subsequently notified Sponsor (UCD) DPO on same day.

The UCD (Sponsor) CRC CRA was informed by the research nurse via email on the 6-Jan-2025 and the Director of UCD CRC was informed on the 7-Jan-2025, subsequently informing the Director of Trial Operations on the same day.

The issues impact is on the privacy rights of the trial participant which they are fundamentally entitled to.
