Successful Studies With A Unified, SaaS Clinical Data Management System
A service provider was using an in-house clinical development software solution to set up clinical databases to record and analyze trial data. Modifying or updating the system required personnel with coding and development skills and implementing revisions—amended versions of the clinical database—to trial protocols took time that could interrupt data input and reporting, and slow down trial completion. the IBM Clinical Development solution offered the clear choice for designing and managing a study that included a complicated patient visit schedule, multiple tracks within the study groups, and an open-ended and variable patient participation timeline.

Increasing Efficiency And Expertise With A Powerful Clinical Research Platform
A full-service CRO that helps pharmaceutical and biotechnology development firms complete clinical trials and prepare regulatory submissions to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies for approval needed an EDC solution that it knew could support a wide variety of studies and study parameters. The IBM® Clinical Development solution armed them with a powerful clinical research platform that provides fully integrated advanced modules, such as medical coding and randomization, that help the organization continue to simplify clinical study processes and increase overall trial efficiency.

High-Quality, Audit-Ready Clinical Research Driven By Digital Data Management
A contract research organization (CRO) focused on quality needed to more thoroughly document clinical studies for sponsors, regulatory authorities and other auditors. With a cloud-based, unified IBM® Clinical Development platform, the CRO can now quickly create accurate digital records of every action taken, including granting users access and updating study protocols.
-
Shortening The Pharmaceutical Development Lifecycle And Reducing Costs
A CRO was in search of a data science partner that could potentially shorten the development lifecycle of the drugs the CRO was helping to get to market and do so at a reasonable cost. The IBM Clinical Development solution allowed them to complete their study build faster, which ultimately reduced its average EDC deployment to a 4 – 6-week timeframe.
