Clinical trials would be impossible to carry out successfully without the collaborative effort of multiple entities working towards the same goal. Having so many different people involved means a wide range of stakeholders all working together. Let’s take a look at the key stakeholders in a clinical trial and their contributions to it. Patients Patients, the…
When it comes to the features of a clinical EDC system, you need to invest in the right software and solution that meets your unique needs and requirements. Not all trials are the same, requiring a customized and unique system. However, some common features are essential to the success of any trial. Let’s take a look…
In the realm of medical research, the terms ‘clinical trial’ and ‘clinical study’ are often used interchangeably. However, there are subtle differences between clinical trials and clinical studies that are important to understand. Let’s explore the differences between clinical trials and clinical studies and shed some light on their unique characteristics and purposes. Clinical Trial:…
Clinical trials are expensive, and clinicians can’t afford to waste crucial resources when conducting efficient studies. Around 20-50% of studies don’t accrue subjects at the site level, leading to considerable waste in clinical research. Staff productivity levels and monetary resources are significantly affected. The implementation of technology, such as EDC systems, has automated significant processes, leading…
Accurate and seamless data collection and evaluation are critical to the success of any clinical trial. Clinicians and data managers must implement state-of-the-art systems such as electronic data capture software for seamless data collection. In addition, there should be robust data collection SOPs within the entire trial to ensure consistency and reliability. Here’s a step-by-step guide to…
Clinical trials provide critical data to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments and therapies. While clinical trials in adults have been widely conducted, pediatric clinical trials pose unique challenges. Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems have emerged as essential tools in pediatric trials, streamlining data collection and improving efficiency. In this blog, we will…
Forward-thinking clinical research organization (CRO) leaders are capitalizing on the advantages of cloud-based clinical trials to mitigate the substantial costs and lengthy timelines associated with traditional approaches. Embracing the flexibility, efficiency, and enhanced collaboration offered by cloud-based EDC systems can revolutionize the clinical trial landscape, streamlining processes and expediting advancements in medical research. Here’s how stakeholders…
While the benefits of EDC adoption are evident in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness, understanding the psychology behind its adoption is crucial for successful implementation. In this blog, we’ll evaluate the psychology of EDC adoption in clinical research, delving into the strategies that influence researchers. Motivations for EDC Adoption One of the primary motivations behind…
Clinical trials are a critical component of the healthcare industry, enabling the development of new drugs and therapies. Early-phase clinical trials, which usually include Phase I and Phase II trials, play a crucial role in this process by assessing the safety of experimental treatments. To streamline data collection, enhance efficiency, and ensure data accuracy in…
Participant consent is one of the most important preliminary steps of a research study. One of the most useful and valuable tools researchers can use to get consent from the participants and the staff involved in eConsent. With a thorough and robust eConsent process in place, you can improve the consenting quality and reduce the…
