Electronic data capture software systems have been around for a while. This modern technology has completely transformed clinical trial processes and methods. Advanced features such as automated data collection, randomization have eased clinical trials. Given the number of options associated with EDC there are certain factors to evaluate when choosing an EDC system. Clinical Electronic…
Clinical research has played an integral role in our overall societal progression, especially in medicine, agriculture, etc. However, the rapid changes in our environment have also shown the need for an evolution in how clinical research is conducted. The COVID-19 pandemic has probably had the most significant impact on the way we research because mandates…
Clinical trials are intense, and researchers are constantly on their toes performing all the functions, collecting data, communications, and reporting. Despite the busy schedules and planning, no clinical trial can happen without appropriate patient safety measures. Most patient-related trials involve testing, which means there are new pharmacological agents and medical equipment around when the tests…
EDC tools have helped clinical trials progress dramatically of the last decade. EDC systems offer several advantages as compared to paper-based CRFs and are the dominant technology used in clinical trials all over the world. EDC have helped clinical trials progress of the years. The rise of EDC systems has dramatically changed the landscape of…
The use of clinical EDC systems has made clinical trials a lot more efficient and cost-effective but not all EDC solutions are made the same. Your choice of EDC system should not be taken lightly. Clinical trials differ from each other in size, scope, phase, and a multitude of other factors. Therefore, there is no…
If you’re unfamiliar with clinical electronic data capture systems (clinical EDC Systems), hopefully, this brief guide will offer a basic understanding of how EDC systems work and what their role is in clinical trials. What is a Clinical EDC System? Simply put, a Clinical EDC system is software that records patient data collected in clinical…
EDC, short for Electronic Data Capture, is a technology that is seeing widespread adoption in clinical trials. In many ways, using an EDC system can be crucial to the success of clinical trials as it directly affects the duration and cost of the trial as well as the quality of clinical trial data. What Are…
EDC is a commonly heard term when it comes to clinical trials, but do you know what it means and what exactly it is? Let’s find out! What EDC Stands For In Clinical Studies EDC is short for Electronic Data Capture and it is a software system that is used to collect and store patient…
Clinical research is an expensive process. Research shows that the estimated cost of clinical trial phase 1, 2 and 3 in the therapeutic area would be between $1.4 and $6.6 million, $7 and $19.6 million and $11.5 and $52.9 respectively. The cumulative cost includes clinical procedural costs, administrative costs and site monitoring costs. In light…
Cancer clinical trials have become prevalent in recent times. Research shows that oncology comprises approximately 1/3rd of the developmental projects in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. This has led researchers and medical practitioners to test the scope of EDC in oncology clinical trials. The hurdle here is obvious. While oncology projects aren’t anything new to…
