Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS)

Leverages Microsoft Assets

Bioclinica CTMS is Microsoft Office-Smart. It allows you to leverage the Microsoft Office suite (SharePoint, Outlook, Excel, Word, Access and Project) to access, update and report on study data, as well as track and manage study activities securely and compliantly.

Bioclinica makes it easy to connect to clinical trial data through Outlook, export to Excel and collaborate in a secure way using direct connection to SharePoint. Bi-directional information exchange between Bioclinica and SharePoint and other Microsoft products is seamless, making for a powerful, high-performance solution. Document updates done in SharePoint are automatically reflected so that your trial data is accurate, current and in sync. And since most CTMS interaction is through familiar Microsoft applications, users work in a familiar interface, so the training is minimal, and the user adoption is high.

End-to-End Clinical Trial Management

Bioclinica CTMS connects the many moving parts of the clinical trial process and lets you monitor progress from a central dashboard. It manages the clinical trial right from the start and maintains role-based access controls across the continuum, from study design through close-out and FDA submission. This end-to-end clinical trial management solution includes the tools to plan, startup, conduct and manage your study, and complete monitoring and regulatory compliance activities. It supports every study aspect: design, procedures, protocol, study arms, visits, forms, treatments, payments and more.

The robust core system offers a range of benefits for improved clinical trial efficiencies and operations:

• Provides the right level of access with views tailored to individual users, whether internal or external
• Provides maximum study visibility for informed decisions at all levels
• Is an ideal governance tool for managing CROs and vendors (consolidates multiple reports/exports a variety of formats and timelines into a central system)

• Automation for reviews and approvals ensures nothing slips through the cracks
• Compliance and traceability ensure data and activities are auditable for accuracy and completeness
• Original, modified and actual milestone dates can be tracked across studies, countries and clinical sites
• Site monitors and study managers have one place to see data across all studies
• Many users can access data for their specific needs
• Streamlined dashboards provide the operations team with visibility into all clinical studies
• Extensive standard and custom reports provide quick answers

Value-Added Capabilities

Bioclinica has a unique set of value-added capabilities that complement its robust core system and go above and beyond any other CTMS. This includes:

• eTMF: Don’t have an existing eTMF solution? Add the new Bioclinica eTMF to your CTMS for a low incremental cost and get everything you need, without the hassle — a fully compliant solution that meets regulatory requirements; a user-friendly SharePoint interface for streamlined adoption; seamless interaction with CTMS; and complete flexibility to migrate to another system if your needs change.
• Monitoring Visit Report (MVR): Bi-directional data flow between Microsoft Word and Bioclinica enables monitors to enter information with or without an internet connection. The MVR auto-populates report templates and updates the system automatically for significant time and labor cost savings. 2012 Microsoft Life Sciences Innovation Award winner, MVR
• ClinicalTrials.gov: Bioclinica CTMS generates electronic submissions in the required format for clinicaltrials.gov.
• Payment Module: The module drastically shortens payment cycle times, automates invoicing and includes contract/budget management exchange rate accounting tools. It supports Sunshine Act Reporting compliance for cash transactions and enables study data to be easily combined with other payment information in an aggregate spend system.
• Contact Management: Manage contacts and institutions to reflect multiple, real-world relationships of study personnel. Information is accessible in Outlook.
• Extensive Standard Reports: Get instant operational visibility into Key Performance Indicators with real-time data and easy exports to both Excel and Adobe.
• Robust Reporting and Tracking with Customer-Defined Milestones: Track original, modified and actual milestone dates across studies, regions and clinical sites. Visualize progress using SharePoint calendars and charts through MS Project integration.
• Inventory Control Module: Tracks shipment and dispensing of general study supplies, equipment and test articles so that the location and product balance at each site is always known (i.e. lot numbers, expiration dates and reconciliation information).
• Single Sign On (SSO): Claims-based security and authentication across Bioclinica products simplifies the user experience.
