Clinical Trial Management System is proving to be critical in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to manage clinical trials

 

A Clinical Trial Management System (CTM) is a comprehensive software application used by pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries around the world to manage clinical researches. The application maintains, tracks, and manages clinical records, performing and reporting functions and tracking patient details, all while organizing research projects, ensuring the quality of data collected, and helping in decision making. Clinical trials can range from small studies to multiple sclerosis clinical trials and are performed on a part-time basis by independent researchers and institutions or sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.

The clinical trial management software is used to coordinate the various elements involved in such researches such as enrollment, data management, participant management, treatment analysis, and record management. Since clinical trials are generally confidential, it is very important that the appropriate security measures are put in place to protect the data and the identities of the individuals involved in the study. There are various security features present in most of the CTM applications that ensure the safety and privacy of the data stored. The most common and important aspect of security in CTM applications is identity authentication.

Another important feature of the clinical trial management system is the automated data collection. The CTM applications help in collecting all medical details of the participants of the clinical trial. In other words, the CTM ensures that all the necessary information is collected at the same time in an efficient manner. As a result, the business can save time and effort in data collection thus making the business more streamlined and effective. There are also applications that will allow the business to combine different types of data into one system thus making the business operate smoothly and efficiently. Recently, in January 2019, PHARMASEAL, a provider of the clinical trial management system, launched EngilityÔ CTMS.
