- I have not experienced any area that requires improvement.
IBM CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT, MY EXPERIENCE
- Cloud based sharing of information
- Trail Design
- Trail Development
- Menus can be confusing until you have spent time with the software.
- A good internet connection is requiered.
- Information is repeated.
IBM Clinical Development has a lot of potential
- Provides detailed data on-demand
- Allows rapid study design
- Provides standardization across all clinical trial elements
- Some modules are expensive.
- Reporting could be more user friendly (steep learning curve).
- Training should utilize more (simple) examples.
Great Clinical Development Database Software
- Friendly user interface.
- Ability to code complex queries and visit rules.
- Intuitive.
- Missing ability to batch add dynamics to a page.
- Better organization of visit rules if you have a lot.
- Many changes require mid study updates
- It is highly customizable and easy to program.
- There is a wide variety of data that can be collected from IRB/site information to clinical data.
- ICD provides comprehensive edit language to program for accurate results.
- Page dynamics are very useful when including or hiding certain data questions.
- Reporting is very clunky and most often needs to be programmed by IBM itself. Getting Excel listings isn't user friendly for all employees.
- The date functions are limited when setting up visit windows.
- The User Manual gets to be a bit confusing in areas. It would benefit using direct examples when explaining programming.
- Having the ability to attach documents (i.e., IRB approval in the Site Documents section) would be beneficial instead of getting a separate CTMS.
- The audit trail report is non-functional for us. There is too much data for it to handle.
This is the first system I've used for electronic data capture and overall it is functional. There are items I wish I had better control over (visit windows, payments, reporting), but ICD is easy to use and easy to program for basic collection. I'm fairly sure I could spend more time on the nuances of the system but there's simply no time when involved in a large subject study.
CRA review of IBM Clinical Development (ICD) Review
- Ease of subject data entry for site data entry.
- Ease of query review for CRA management and source verification.
- Ability to generate data tables for general study review.
- Would like to have more access to report review. Most of the functions are controlled by the initial data management setup of the specific reports. I would like to be able to run my own custom programs as a CRA (some way to bypass internal programming).
- Sites note that they are limited in pulling tables (with specific information ) based on internal programming. I only see what DM has allowed with the CVS/EXCEL tables.
- Better user guide to assist with training.
Overall Happy Customer
- User friendly and easy to use
- Fast
- Easy-to-create reports
- EDC support system to be enhanced and calls should be arranged to discuss it in detail by sharing screen over a Zoom call or MS teams (or by any other preferred method).
- Page dynamics tab should have advanced expression editor enabled, along with basic editor.
- An additional option to post a re-query should be made available. Currently, if a re-query is to be posted, the original answered query needs to be closed and a new query needs to be generated. This does not provide a reference to the previous query on which this re-query is posted.

IBM Clinical Development - Our preferred EDC partner!
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.
- User-friendly database build module. Thus enabling study builds in record times.
- Effective Randomization and Inventory management module.
- IBM Clinical Development has one of the amazing technical support teams in the industry.
- 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.
IBM Clinical Development Review
- Very good dynamic system. Avoid site to see information unnecessary.
- User friendly. No need to have strong programming background.
- Study customized system setting.
- Wish Advanced Editor can be both manually edited and pull the elements
- Consider more possibility of Subject ID
- System setting document can not import study attributes
- Cannot add repeating cycle X if my memory is correct
Study with less cycles or cohorts.
Great EDC System
- Intuitive design interface
- Well-organized online manual and training material
- Robust error checking and step-by-step wizard
- Helpdesk has solid expertise
- Page design: Dynamic control fields like dynamic searchlist drop down; which contents can be changed depends on the data entry.
- System query: Implement the edit check on cross repeated pages.
- MSU process: Assign study revision to multiple sites with just one click.
IBM CD is best for your clinical trial
- IBM CD has a great number of options/modules and can be adapted to any kind of clinical trial.
- IBM CD is user friendly.
- The support team is always ready to help and support and give useful tips.
- IBM CD should think about spreading their data center also in other places than just in US. That would be handy due to GDPR to have it e.g. in Europe, or in Asia.
- From my point of view, the IBM CD prices are fine, but for start-up companies the IBM CD is unreachable due to price. Other solutions need to be offered to them.
IBM Clinical Development Review
- It is an electronic data capture where we can build studies, collect data, monitor data and edit- check.
- We can also issues queries, generate reports, attach additional documentation.
- It has the ability for electronic signature.
- The system does not have much electronic trial master filing function.
- I dont think it accepts documents in various format like pdf, Word, Excel, etc.
ICD stands for "I Can Develop"
- 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.
- The response to suggestions/issues on how to enhance the system functionalities is slow.
- Use of some functionalities is non-standard and requires additional payments.
- Certification in certain modules (e.g. Data Migrator) is expensive.
