Proactive consent review helps pediatric studies stay ahead of FPI
A top-5 pharma partnered with Medable on two pediatric vaccine studies in South Africa, where parents and guardians consent on behalf of their children. By reviewing consent materials from the caregiver’s perspective, Medable flagged inconsistencies early enough for the sponsor to revise the forms and secure IRB re-approval before first patient in.
Back to basics: What is a clinical trial platform--eCOAs, digital measures, and more
Modern clinical trials employ various digital-based tools and technologies designed to increase the speed, accuracy, and ease of conducting clinical trials. In the best-case scenario, these tools are housed in the same experience or a “clinical trial platform.”
Clinical trial platforms are software-based, web-based, and/or cloud-based solutions that facilitate clinical trial research throughout its entire lifecycle. They offer a complete technology ecosystem that connects patients, research sites, and trial sponsors from patient recruitment to close out and data submission. Users of clinical trial platforms can access and operationalize all of their digital-based tools through this connected platform. Platforms can prevent users from accessing parts of the platform not permitted for them. For instance, participants can not view other participants' data or gain access to tools meant for sites. Other users, like sponsors’ study teams, have access to the full suite of tools as needed based on their roles.
