e-CDM - The Complete Solution for Clinical Data Management

Pharmaceutical clinical trials today place great demands on companies trying to bring medically important drugs to market. Competitive and market pressures and the desire to bring life-saving therapies to patients require faster and more efficient data collection and review. Clinical researchers must also address safety and data integrity issues, which require accuracy and speed in the reporting of clinical data and serious adverse events. Consequently, there must be rapid communication among investigators, monitors, sponsors and potentially, regulatory agencies. In addition, information must be shared with institutional review boards (IRBs) and the data and safety monitoring boards (DSMBs) that are now common in larger trials.

Web-based electronic data capture (EDC) has already begun to have a great impact on the speed and accuracy with which data can be collected and transmitted among the various participants in clinical trials. The next stage in the evolution of the clinical trial infrastructure is the integration and transformation of all the pieces into a new clinical data management system - e-CDM - that starts at the design of the protocol, moving through data capture to analysis and database storage and retrieval. e-CDM is a system that provides end-to-end clinical trial solutions and makes all the data available at every step, to everyone who needs it.
