ISR ARTICLES

  • How Can Electronic Data Capture Better Serve Decentralized Clinical Trials?

    Newer, nimbler technology providers face a steep climb if they want to convince sponsors to sunset traditional EDC in favor of direct data capture only, or a unified decentralized trial platform that everything plugs into. Will EDC evolve to fix its existing problems, or will a different type of decentralized trial platform (or single platform model) replace pick-and-pull, add-and-subtract modules of clinical trial technology?

  • Electronic Data Capture In Clinical Trials: What Needs To Improve?

    Integrated technologies enhance clinical trial support, boosting the potential for quicker time-to-market. Key sponsors and CROs favoring operational efficiency prioritize "holistic study design," involving the integration of technologies (e.g., EDC, eCOA, and IRT) aligned with protocol, as opposed to constructing the study in individual tools.
