Source Data Verification (SDV) is a critical process employed by clinical research organizations (CROs) to validate the accuracy and integrity of the data collected during a clinical trial. This meticulous method involves cross-referencing the study’s source data with the final report to identify and rectify any discrepancies or errors before they can adversely impact the…
Did you know that according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, remote and mobile trials have shown promising results in improving participant recruitment and retention rates? However, without proper measures in place, data and reporting integrity can be challenging. With the increasing adoption of remote and mobile trial methodologies, it is…
Are you curious about how clinical trials work and how BMI plays a crucial role in determining the efficacy and safety of new treatments? In this blog, we’ll explore the link between BMI and clinical trials and why it’s important to understand how BMI impacts the development of new treatments. What is BMI? Body Mass Index…
Clinical trial management systems (CTMS) are software solutions that help manage the operational aspects of clinical trials. They are designed to streamline and automate tasks like patient enrollment, study monitoring, and data management. Here are some ways to get the most out of your clinical trial management system. ● Use Electronic Data Capturing (EDC) An EDC system is software…
We get to hear randomization a lot when we talk about clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies. Randomization ensures that the groups in a clinical trial are balanced and similar to one another. This allows researchers to accurately compare the data and increases the ability of the study to detect any real differences between the drug…
The biomedical sector is evolving to facilitate the trial process and hasten the distribution of pharmaceutical items to the general public. A milestone in these advancements came in the form of master protocols, also referred to as platform trials, were introduced by specific guidelines issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. Master…
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, 16% of clinical trials face recruitment challenges, with 43% of sites underperforming due to insufficient recruitment rates. These statistics highlight the importance of improving the accuracy and effectiveness of feasibility questionnaires to support successful patient recruitment in clinical trials. By implementing effective ways…
Clinical trials are a critical component of many medical research studies.
