Site Management: overview
Sponsors confront the challenge of managing numerous sites and data systems in today’s large multinational clinical studies. No clean data can be obtained if patients miss scheduled visits, or required samples are not timely and properly collected. Complex clinical trials require global resources and robust technology to support study management. An engaged CRO is likely to provide a full range of technologies and web-based tools – core systems like Electronic Data Capture (EDC), Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS), Randomization and Trial Supply Management (RTSM), as well as more advanced systems for modeling patient recruitment, adaptive trial approach, medical imaging, and global communications. All these technologies are called to facilitate trial efficiency, support cost reductions, and cut on development time. But then managing the proper use of these technologies becomes another kind of challenge. That’s where CTX4 offers its help.
We raise share of voice of your study related tasks and activities within teams of investigators who simultaneously work with several trials and multiple systems. If left alone, some investigators just get lost in a multitude of different electronic systems covering similar tasks from diverse interfaces. Although CROs promise intuitive interfaces and extended functionality, their site-based end-users might still experience difficulties while trying to perform supplies and site management activities.
We can provide oversight of site’s work with your study systems, track timeframes, provide personalized alerts and notifications, assist investigators with scheduling their research activities, consult researches on utilizing your on-line IT solutions, and provide overall control of site’s activities. Within this service we also assist with site’s supplies administration and inventory management.
We offer this service as a stand-alone product; otherwise it is a part of a standard Site Management and Monitoring package. When it comes to metrics our site management service is a way to improve site performance indicators.
