By Katie Garner, Advisor - Therapeutic Areas

Clinical trials are increasingly growing in complexity, and although there is abundant evidence showcasing the enhancement of data quality through electronic collection of Clinical Outcomes Assessment (eCOA) data, the intricacies of trials can impose additional burdens on clinical research sites.

This article highlights the Critical Path Institute's eCOA: Getting Better Together Initiative (GBTI) and Signant Health's collaboration on a project to improve the usability and flexibility of electronic Patient-Reported Outcome (ePRO) in clinical trials. The project identified seven recommendations for sponsors to consider in protocol design, aiming to create a seamless and participant-centric approach to ePRO implementation.

By implementing these recommendations, learn how stakeholders can enhance the participant experience and optimize data quality.
