Moving from Paper to EDC:CRO Perspective • Status • Moving Forward • Paradigm shifts • Budget/pricing
etrials/OCR Status • Partnership Agreement: April 05 • Tech Transfer: January 06
Our First Study • 7,633 Patients • 613,000 eCRF Pages • 15 Countries, 4 Continents • 222 Total Users; 168 at Peak • < 2 second page turn • 4 load-balanced servers • Ramp-up: 3 Weeks • All Entry Within 28 Days
Lessons Learned • Big Confidence Booster • Confirmed Relationship Issue • Training Perspective • Communication Disconnect
Sponsor EDC CRO Communication: Not Good
One CDM/eCDM Leader • Charter Communication: Good Sponsor EDC CRO
