Facing Frustrated Sponsors
Almac’s EDC, IVR Combo
Almac Clinical Technologies is adding electronic data capture to its expedited service offering.
Hold on to your desk. A major electronic data capture (EDC) vendor recently announced a revision to its technology that is ... entirely internet based. This was similar to announcing the development of a stone wheel that is ... round. It’s fine to brag about a round wheel with a… more...
Is everything coming together? Apparently. As we wrote last week in this story about ClinPhone, the integration of two central clinical technologies—electronic data capture (EDC) and randomization—is in the air. Firms like Clarix, DataTrak and etrials have their own approaches, which typically involve a single database. Almac Clinical Technologies, like… more...
The pharmaceutical industry is seemingly in agreement that electronic data capture (EDC) is a good idea. Even obligatory. But let’s back up: what is EDC? Is it software? If so, why can it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to get every trial started? Is EDC more properly considered a… more...
Every few months, clinical trial suite Phase Forward announces that basically every key number—earnings, revenues, customer counts, the whole enchilada—has risen 20 percent or so.

The web-based, interactive course entitled “Managing Clinical Trials: A Comprehensive Continuing Education Course for Health Care Professionals” focuses on providing… more...
I have been involved with EDC (electronic data capture) for more than two decades now. During this time, I have been exposed to a variety of systems. On occasion, I get asked what makes a good EDC system. The person asking the question is usually looking for a short list… more...
There can be a slight chill between contract research organizations (CROs) and electronic data capture (EDC) firms that work together. In a pinch, either firm could dent the credibility of the other. It’s not always clear whether this CRO or that EDC firm might be included or omitted from a… more...
When quarterly revenue jumps 70 percent from one year to the next, as it recently did for Phoenix Data Systems, something must be appealing to the firm’s electronic data capture (EDC) customers. The Philadelphia-area firm started 118 new trials for 38 clients during the first 9 months of 2007. Fifteen… more...
The integration of electronic data capture (EDC) with interactive voice response (IVR) systems to randomize patients is a natural one, and not routinely managed in a seamless manner. Two Florida firms are trying to make that easier. Late last year, OmniComm Systems, the small, publicly traded EDC firm, and IVR… more...
