Before hiring clinical staff for research, you must ensure they are up for the job. Medical or clinical research requires a keen eye for detail. You cannot give this task to anyone because the findings are significant and must be properly recorded. Let’s explore three things to consider before hiring clinical staff for research. 1.…
When conducting clinical trials in research, accurate and efficient data management is very important for appropriate and successful outcomes. Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems are software tools for data collection and management of clinical trial data. In 2022, the electronic data capture (EDC) system market was worth US$1.13 billion. IMARC Group projects that the market will develop at…
sIRBs multi-site research Historically, research organizations and sites have relied on the institutional review board (IRB) and its oversight. sIRBs multi-site research is an important characteristic today. These committees are usually locally managed by the research institutions themselves, but in some cases, the organization also chooses independently administered IRBs. Recently, there has been a change…
Did you know that Phase III clinical trials create about 3.6 million data points, which is three times more than it did ten years ago? For decades, the Phase III stage has been carried out in the same manner: It can span many years, involves up to 3,000 individuals, and takes place before the medicine or…
Modern technology in the form of digital tools and clinical trial software has changed the mechanism of intervention delivery in research studies. Ever since the advent of smartphones took place, these digital health tools have exploded in research programs. Complete virtual clinical trials can also occur, eliminating the need for in-person researcher-patient contact entirely. This digital approach…
Efficacy Trials or explanatory trials are an effective way of explaining the outcome of an intervention under ideal circumstances. The efficacy in any clinical trial can be measured by estimating the outcomes rate observed in controlled and experimental groups. Research sites chosen for the efficacy trials play a crucial role in ensuring the success of…
Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes, or ePROs, are a type of electronic data-capturing method mainly used in clinical research and the healthcare system. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are any aspect of a patient’s health status that is reported by the patient directly, excluding any interpretation done by a professional along with the way. ePROs is the technology that uses…
While there are certain set criteria that exclude patients from participating in clinical trials, and many times researchers themselves have parameters, it’s also important to look at the flip side. For a clinical trial to be truly successful, it needs a comprehensive EDC software program and a concerted effort to carry out inclusive and ethical research. Here are…
With time, research organizations are becoming more efficient and patient-centric. The current research methodology embraces technological advancements and explores remote options. The COVID-19 pandemic has been critical in taking the research industry towards a virtual, flexible approach from the traditional brick-and-mortar site. This is where the decentralized clinical trial (DCT) model comes in, and today…
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…
