Did you know that over $2.6 billion is spent on clinical trials? Many pharmaceutical corporations and research institutions use clinical trial management systems (CTMS) to control these expenses and guarantee the timely completion of clinical trials. At a CAGR of 11.4%, the market for clinical trial management systems is anticipated to increase between 2022 and 2030.…
You may acquire and store data digitally using the effective data-collecting technique known as Electronic Data Capture (EDC). Data may be gathered from various sources, including paper forms, digital forms, and mobile devices, with the help of EDC, which is simple to use. To enter data, organize a database, and conduct analysis for clinical trials, clinical…
Before beginning your study, you must select a suitable clinical trial management system (CTMS) Vendor that can not only benefits your research organization but is also patient-centric. When you’re in the market for an appropriate CTMS, you should look for one that fits well with your research goals and meets all your requirements. To that…
A screen failure in clinical trials happen when potential participants undergo a screening process designed to determine whether they fit the study’s inclusion criteria, and despite fitting the criteria, they fail to enroll in the trial. While there’s no standardized screen failure information for different studies, some studies show a higher incidence of screen failure.…
It was 2011 when Pfizer, for the first time in the history of clinical trials, initiated a virtual clinical study to test one of its drugs. While the project did not get to reach the completion stage owing to a lack of electronic data capture tools and redundancies in the system, it surely gave a…
The research industry is changing rapidly and embracing patient-centric practices. When COVID-19 restrictions came into effect, a large part of the industry moved to remote modalities for the sake of research continuity. With these remote practices, researchers became more conscious of the participant experience and prioritized the participants’ comfort. That said, simply moving to remote research…
When it comes to conducting clinical trials, one of the most important success factors is diversity and inclusion in the research process. This means that the participants of the research should represent diverse groups in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other demographical factors.
