Central eSource Is The Latest In Sponsor Provided Site Offerings

For decades, sponsors have provided tools to help clinical sites work more efficiently, beginning with Central IRBs in the 1980s, expanding to Central Recruiting, patient stipend solutions, and eRegulatory platforms. Central eSource is the latest evolution in this trend: a sponsor-provided, site-facing tool designed to streamline startup, standardize workflows, and improve data quality.

Like Central IRB, Central eSource offers sites pre-built, protocol-compliant source templates that guide staff through visit workflows while capturing data digitally. This saves sites the considerable effort of building their own paper or electronic worksheets—an effort that often delays startup and risks inconsistent protocol interpretation. As adoption grows, Central eSource is poised to become a critical part of the clinical research ecosystem—potentially evolving into a unified operating system that connects EDCs, labs, randomization services, and more. In this way, it continues the long-standing sponsor tradition of empowering sites with technology that drives consistency, accelerates timelines, and improves trial execution at the ground level.
