Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Arizona has ruled that NIH failed to show that patient records concerning the Phase I clinical trial of the Moderna vaccine for COVID-19 are protected by Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) in response to a request from the Informed Consent Action Network. After searching the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease's Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases database, the agency located a 1,093-page study responsive to the request. Moderna asked the NIH to withhold the entire study under Exemption 4. Moderna subsequently informed NIH that it could release the Safety Report with redactions. NIH redacted patient identifying information under Exemption 6 and then disclosed the redacted study to ICAN. NIH withheld patient information, including adverse events, which are defined as "any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of an intervention in humans, whether or not considered intervention-related." NIH argued that the patients' Adverse Event data should be redacted because "it is a patient's medical diagnosis pulled directly from the patient's medical record." Judge John Tuchi explained that "the Court agrees that this information when connected with an identifiable individual, likely implicates a privacy interest warranting redaction pursuant to Exemption 6. However, there is no evidence, nor does NIH contend, that the Adverse Event data can be linked to any of the patients who participated in the Phase I trial." NIH relied on the HIPAA Privacy Rule and a report from TransCelerate Biopharma suggesting that adverse events data is an identifier typically collected in clinical trials. Tuchi rejected NIH's justification, noting that "importantly, however, NIH never contends that including a patient's Adverse Event data will increase the risk of identifying the patient. Rather, it cites to the HIPAA Privacy Rule and TransCelerate report to illustrate that the Adverse Event data is information 'concerning [a patient's] personal matters. . .typically treated as private information.' But unless this data is tied to personally identifying information, it does not warrant redaction pursuant to Exemption 6. Notably, NIH fails to cite a single case where the Court upheld the redaction of information where there was no risk that individuals would be personally identified." NIH also argued there was no public interest in disclosure. Tuchi disagreed, noting that "NIAID funded and led the development of mRNA-1273 and sponsored the Phase I trial. Reviewing this data will allow the public to better understand NIH's actions and bases for its decisions." NIH also argued that some of the data had already been made public in other portions of the report. But Tuchi observed that "however, the unredacted data provides substantially less information than the redacted information. . .Where there was a greater individual privacy interest, the unredacted version of the Adverse Event data may have sufficed. However, because of the de minimis privacy interest, the public interest in seeing the full data outweighs any individual privacy concerns." NIH also withheld age data. Tuchi, however, pointed out that "NIH simply concludes that because there were only 85 patients, publicizing their age will lead to their identification. The Court is skeptical that age alone could identify an individual without more information." He noted that "the Report lists the unredacted age data in broad numerical ranges such as '18-55,' and '56-70.' These ranges do not provide the same information as the specific ages of the trial participants. Because the privacy interest in the Age data is trivial and there is a public interest, the Court finds that the redactions are improper."
