Overall Satisfaction with IBM Clinical Development (ICD)
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.
- Study Database design.
- Randomization and trial supply management.
- Electronic data capture.
- Electronic patient reported outcomes.
- eConsent capabilities.
- Advanced data validation logics.
- Design error identification.
- 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.
IBM Clinical Development has an easier set-up, maintenance and modifiability. Also, there is a cost saving when using IBM CD for a study as Medidata is very expensive.
