Next Gen EDC
Helping EDC Scale Globally
How to take the technology to the next level? ClinPhone’s David Stein weighs in. The first of a five-part series.
If clinical trial data is music, both fluid and potentially dissonant, Peg Regan of PharmaPros is a sort of symphony conductor. She’s the firm’s president and CEO—and has seen plenty of instruments that can prove tricky to coordinate. The ability to combine streams of clinical data remains something that is… more...
Electronic data capture (EDC) has received the most attention in large pharmaceutical companies, but it may also have profound consequences in smaller scientific organizations. Indeed, it could do for biomedical research what the Internet did for communications: democratize it. The technology may foster a multidisciplinary, global research opportunity for new… more...
Rapid growth in the electronic data capture (EDC) industry is unfolding. If it resembles other sectors of the technology space, a handful of companies (or even a single firm) could dominate. It’s not clear which of the current entrants will emerge as the IBM or Microsoft of the clinical trial… more...
Our notebook still has a few gems from IIR’s Clinical Technology ("CTECH") conference, held last month in Philadelphia, which was where we heard Jane Clarke from Wyeth speak. One highlight is a presentation by Pfizer’s Mike Collins. A VP of development operations, he was the subject of this February story… more...
It’s one thing to get the data into an electronic data capture (EDC) system. But in the battle to differentiate themselves, the providers of the pivotal technology are now trying to focus on the ease (or lack thereof) of getting data out. Which is why TrialStat has released an enhanced… more...
What is electronic data capture (EDC) in the end? Does it simply transfer the inefficiencies of paper case report forms to the internet? Or will EDC facilitate organization-wide efficiencies or even scientific discovery? Many companies in the life sciences are wrestling with whether to rebuild their systems and processes around… more...
The acquisition of Vermont’s Green Mountain Logic by Phase Forward, for $5.3 million, is a surprising and fascinating development this week. Lab Pas CT, the flagship product at Green Mountain, is designed to manage samples and work flows in Phase I. The Lab Pas software is designed to be used… more...
Were they dating? Engaged? It appears Wyeth and Medidata Solutions have been married for some time, at least from hints about “eleven months” of using electronic data capture in the news release that posted yesterday. This week’s formal announcement is a seven-year, enterprise-wide uptake of Medidata’s EDC product by Wyeth.… more...
Paul Clarkson is director of clinical data management at Genentech and served as co-chair of the planning committee for the recent Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) meeting in Chicago. The blossoming of trial technology and the challenge of managing it, he says, have been good for the SCDM membership… more...
At this year’s meeting of the Society for Clinical Data Management, “standing room only” doesn’t begin to cover it. Many sessions were devoid of a place to sit, crouch or stand. That’s a testament to the quality of the presentations at the meeting, which were clear-eyed discussions of the actual… more...
