Medical Imaging and Electronic Data Capture in Clinical Trials: The Future ParadigmAll clinical trial data is ultimately digital. The pathway to this digital database is not always as connected as one might expect in this technological age. The backbone of clinical trials is now Electronic Data Capture (EDC), and this is not yet synchronous with the other major aspects of data collection, such as medical imaging. With the need for more streamlined processes, this paper explores the combination of medical imaging with EDC and provides the future paradigm for the trial list in the digital age. |

EDC Possibilities in OncologyFunctional challenges aside, electronic data capture can improve cancer clinical trials. EDC in oncology has a number of functional challenges that must be addressed in order to fully utilize its potential. Among these challenges are study design issues, capturing measures of study efficacy, study safety monitoring, and the management of study logistics. This white paper focuses on the opportunities to ease some of the issues by using EDC. |
 |
Data Management StrategiesElectronic Data Capture (EDC) systems should be more than just a means to an end. Quality EDC systems can enable the entire clinical trials information management process. Your diligence in implementing thorough preparation—including edit check specifications and standardized eCRF design—will improve the efficiency of your study, and help you avoid some of the most common pitfalls even an experienced data manager can encounter. |

A Solution for CRO's: CTMS - Once You Have One, You'll Wonder How You Managed Without ItIf a sponsor contracts with a clinical research organization (CRO) to run a trial on the sponsor’s behalf, the sponsor will most likely be looking for controls from the CRO. A CRO needs a tool that increases efficiency, productivity, capability, performance, and internal communication, as well as communication with the sponsor. A tool that helps decrease manpower, and administrative overhead also helps decrease associated costs. These benefits, in turn, can be passed on to a sponsor, giving the CRO a competitive edge. This paper helps to outline some of these key benefits. |

Five Things Clinical Professionals Should Know About SharePointSharePoint has been adopted by over 17,000 companies, and it has become Microsoft’s fastest growing product ever. There is good reason for this exponential growth – more and more people across diverse industries are finding that it improves their productivity and takes the knowledge worker to a new level of real-time insight to more effectively manage business processes. Life Sciences companies are eager to benefit from SharePoint capabilities, but not quite sure how its capabilities can be leveraged in the highly regulated world of clinical trial management. |

Business Process Management and the Clinical Trial ProcessThis whitepaper explores many of the issues faced by both small and large life sciences companies when attempting to apply technology to the clinical trial process. It introduces the concept of business process management (BPM) and how this technology differs from traditional software applications. Additionally, it provides examples of BPM applications in the clinical trial process and explains how life sciences companies of any size can take advantage of the benefits provided by this technology. |

An Executive Overview for Sponsors: CTMS - Once You Have One, You'll Wonder How You Managed Without ItClinical trials are an expensive but essential part of a sponsor's existence. Unless the articles are being tested in the most efficient (yet still safe and complete) way possible, costs of development can rapidly become excessive and needlessly increased. Because testing must include multiple phases and comply with many strict regulations (which also vary among countries), it is essential that companies efficiently organize and manage their trials. With the recent disclosures about problems with drugs on the market (such as Vioxx) and calls for investigation into others, sponsors now, more than ever, must be extremely vigilant in the eyes of both the regulatory bodies and the general public. |

The Business Case for Functional Outsourcing of EDCThis white paper is intended for clinical operations managers who are either considering their electronic data capture (EDC) options for the first time or re-evaluating previous decisions. This paper looks at the primary approaches for acquiring, implementing and applying eClinical technologies with a particular focus on choosing the approach that best matches your organization’s goals and capabilities. |

Full Service EDC as an Alternative to OutsourcingCompanies find remarkable results are a feature of how they capture and monitor clinical data during clinical trials; especially when they implement electronic data capture. Most sponsors describe their use of CROs as a strategic, rather than a tactical decision. However, most sponsors also view CROs as considerably more expensive than in-house resources. Does EDC actually allow a sponsor to do anything they just can’t do with paper? |
