ICD is being used specifically by our Data Management Department here at Veristat. We design CRFs and studies per the sponsor's request/specification for their clinical trials so that study coordinators can enter the data into the system. We use it to track subjects, analyze data, prepare reports, and send SAS extracts to sponsors so they can present results to their regulatory agencies.

IBM Clinical Development is being used by the Data Management department to build protocol-specific study databases for capturing clinical trial data. Several DM employees use the platform to build studies. Our clinical department uses the platform to review the data which is entered by the research sites. Our Statistical Programming department uses the data extracted from the platform to develop the standardized data tabulation model to be included for generating tables, listings and figures for inclusion in Clinical Study Reports, which are submitted to the FDA. The platform also helps us manage clinical supplies being shipped from supply depots to clinical sites.

In my organization, IBM Clinical Development (ICD) is being used by my department, namely clinical data management. We prefer to use this over other commercially available EDC products because ICD offers us a very intuitive and unified platform, which is adaptable and can be customized to different needs of different clinical projects.

IBM Clinical Development is one of the preferred EDC vendors that is being used in widely used in our organization. I have been using IBM Clinical Development for designing the study databases and also as one of the end users of these EDC, and the experience so far has been amazing!

The best part of working with IBM Clinical is that it is very user-friendly. Thereby reducing the overall turn around time of any activity, and thus reducing the cost and the time spent on building and maintaining a project on IBM.

ICD is used by Data Management Department, CRA Department and project manager might also have experience with IBM CD. From designer's perspective, ICD has very strong Dynamic functions. It is also very user friendly. However, some function can not be implemented. For example, format of subject ID is limited, some edit check cannot be done with simple / advance way. For advance editor, if logic is too complex, it takes time to pull elements from functional pane.

IBM Clinical Development (ICD) is being used by our U.S. team because only U.S. sponsors consider using IBM Clinical Development (ICD). In other regions, it is not widely used, and few people know this system, so it is not beneficial to promote it to our clients in the bidding.

IBM Clinical Development is used in Research and Development to capture and house data generated during various clinical trials. It provides a platform to build a study database, and enables cleaning and monitoring of the data that is used to prepare the listings for FDA submissions. This application allows us to control and track user access, has many reporting features, and provides an audit trail of all actions performed in the database.

IBM Clinical Development is being used by our external CRO and our internal Clinical department to track patient data and progress on 3 of our ongoing company-sponsored clinical trials. However, I have access to monitor the progress of the trials and patient status. Management must understand the near real-time progress of our clinical trials so we can make informed decisions and data analyses as possible.
