50% of the clinical trials lack behind the time planned by 6 months. And it's not about time only. The extra time means more money and invested human resources, as 40% of the total clinical trial spending is generated within the R&D phase. The trials are getting more complex, and the costs are rising tremendously. So the old fashion manual approach with forms created by hand and data entered into spreadsheets manually does not apply to the new reality. The...
Our previous article marked some of the benefits that hospitals can take advantage of by using a clinical trial management system to manage clinical trial processes. Today we will continue reviewing the advantages that Clinicube CTMS provides to its users. Data security When it comes to clinical information, the security of data...
The digital transformation opened many opportunities for optimizing cumbersome processes, minimizing burden, and maximizing the productivity of clinical trial staff. Thankfully, the days of using endless spreadsheets to track patient enrollment and visits, budgeting and finance details, reporting, and any other aspects of a clinical trial are finally over for many clinical trial sites. The clinical Trial Management System...
Are you thinking about using a clinical trial management system for your trials? And are you wondering which one from the list of the most popular solutions you should choose? Then you are probably searching the Internet, reading about the different systems, and checking the pros and cons of each of the most used solutions. And perhaps you are in a deadlock or close to a deadlock because there are so many options and each solution has so many features, but you...
In our last blog post, we marked the importance of robust tools for electronic patient data capture for the success of decentralized trials. Now, we will dive deeper into the specifics of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems and their benefits for clinical trials. What is EDC? With the use of EDC, researchers can collect, clean, transfer, and process clinical data electronically. Moreover, all collected data is...
The global pandemic has changed so many things. To keep their operations, various businesses had to digitize more or less their business processes. The clinical research industry makes no difference. In the last two years, we have witnessed the accelerated rise of decentralized clinical trials. Hospital limits and lockdowns have forced the clinical research industry to adopt virtual or hybrid clinical trial models. Unlike traditional clinical trials, which are...

The diverse clinical trials participants are a key factor in fostering better health outcomes and improving care for a wide range of populations. According to a study in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics from 2014, the differences between participants often lead to a difference in the way different people respond to the same treatment. Characteristics like age, genetics, gender, weight, ethnic origin, even geographic location may influence how the treatment work or how safe it is. For...
The demand for more randomized clinical trials increases continuously. Clinical researchers can control for bias in clinical trials with the help of randomization. It essentially eliminates the bias associated with treatment selection. Even if the concept of randomization looks simple, there are some very important issues related to balancing sample sizes and controlling the influence of covariates. Organizations often face challenges in achieving balanced randomization of patients through...
Technology has helped healthcare and pharma organizations progress rapidly in the last 2 years. It has reshaped how we look at patient care and hospital management while inventing and innovating improved drugs and predicting the course of treatment based majorly on data analytics. From artificial intelligence (AI) to the Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) and cloud computing to predictive analytics, technology is strengthening its positions providing increased...
