ClinPlus CTMS vs. Merative Clinical Development

The platform can be used for new biotechs who are just starting to implement clinical research platforms or for companies who are looking for new systems. ClinPlus has all other systems too such as EDC, IWRS, and eTMF so a company can use one platform for all the systems. ClinPlus Clinical Trial Management System is cloud-based so it is useful for end users to access the system without logging into a company server.

ICD is a good tool for companies currently utilizing multiple software platforms to create and monitor clinical trial information. Due to the price, it is best suited for large pharmaceutical manufacturers with active pipelines and high R&D spend. ICD's value is more limited to smaller, more focused companies.

• Clin Plus CTMS can be integrated with Clin Plus EDC, eTMF, and IWRS system. It also has the ability to seamlessly integrate with other platforms
• Their monitoring functionalities are very useful such as site visit report authorizing and review workflow, email notification to CRAs and Project Managers for creating and reviewing trip reports.
• Study Finance Management tool is also a good feature to keep track of all your site budgets in one platform

• Study build process is relatively easy to learn, and there are many tools within the system to help builders throughout the process.
• Outstanding support - both technical / Helpdesk (with system features and capabilities) and project management. Each organization has their own Client Success Manager, and ours is doing an excellent job.
• Periodical enhancements based on the users/clients/s feedback.
• Training materials are very well prepared and organized.

• It takes a while to get used to the platform especially if you are used to other CTMS platforms
• The system needs to be more intuitive for users to acknowledge all the features available

• We cannot have multiple study accesses for a study in the studies supported by IBM clinical. eg. Coder and Data manager.
• Though all the study-build related errors are flagged on the study-build page, some errors like incorrect dynamics applied, which eventually affects the subject PDF extraction, reports, etc.
• When the study is imported from another IBM studies, certain attributes remain running in the background even if it seems to be disabled.

We are satisfied from our experience with IBM, the close collaboration we have with the ICD team is also something we value. We plan to use ICD for a long time

IBM has many different functionalities as well as modules that can be used depending on what the sponsor wants. I like that they are optional so that when building a study, you can give the sponsor options if they want them or not. Many of the optional models I like to use (Training Tracking for example) as they make tracking Site training so much easier than sending training forms out

some audit reports are difficult to download and take time subject pdf also takes some time to download

ICD's support team is phenomenal. They are quick to answer or indicate that they need to research to provide an answer. There are some things that they cannot do which we can be annoying but we deal with it (visit windows). I have been very happy with the support team.

very efficient self training

again not sure about it, I wasn't part of our organization yet

I still prefer using Medidta CTMS as the platform is laid out in a very intuitive way and it is also very easy to integrate all the data into other platforms. With Clin Plus CTMS the system is good but to utilize it to its full potential all the other platforms provided by Clin Plus needs to be purchased also

It was easier to understand the usability of the software [ICD]. For our engineers [it] was easier to migrate our data, and fully set up everything. We found out that comparing other software[s], this one is safe, easy to use, has more functionalities, [and it's] easier to work with team members everywhere making clinical trials more efficient.

• The system allows project managers to easily keep track of study metrics in real time which is useful for making decisions
• The monitoring tools ensure that the trip reports are completed and reviewed in a timely manner

• Time savings regarding how long it takes to make an EDC Live.
• Reduced EDC Go Live time by at least half (from 60 days to 30).
• Was able to take an EDC live in 14 days on a few occasions.
• Seamless RTSM IRT integration without adding time to Go Live.
