Clinical Trial Data Management Outsourcing / Data Management CRO

Clinical Trial Data Management (CDM) is an important process in clinical research. Clinical trials produce immense amounts of data all of which needs to be collected, stored, archived, and available for use by researchers and regulatory agencies in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Service providers that help manage clinical trial data often employ a Clinical Data Management System or CDMS to manage the data of a clinical trial. The clinical trial data gathered at the investigator site in the case report form are stored in the CDMS. To reduce the possibility of errors due to human entry, the systems employ various means to verify the data. Systems for clinical data management can be self-contained or part of the functionality of a CTMS. A CTMS with clinical data management functionality can help with the validation of clinical data as well as helps the site employ for other important activities like building patient registries and assisting in patient recruitment efforts.
