Technology advancements for the clinical trials industry has created cost savings in all areas of the trial process. Web-based systems drive efficiency in trial design, randomization, clinical supply management, and more.

Gamification can be implemented within a Life Science company in many ways to improve performance and speed: Patient Adherence, Education (from sites to CRAs), Adherence to Timelines (data entry timelines, data cleaning timelines, regulatory reporting, etc.), or Quality of Work (queries generated).

More than ever, clinical studies are becoming increasingly complicated and the likelihood of making unforeseen study modifications is all too common, no matter how well the study team prepares. Implementing mid-study changes can be challenging if the eClinical system you are using is not strategically architected to optimize the implementation timeline and mitigate risk.

As the biopharmaceutical industry continues its transition to electronic data capture (EDC), the days of paper-based clinical trials are numbered. Driving this trend are factors such as lengthy study start-up time, high incidence of queries and drawn-out database lock, all linked to inefficient paper-based processes.

In eSource studies, data is entered directly into an electronic data capture system (EDC). In comparison, paper-sourced studies record the data first on paper and later the contents are transcribed into the EDC solution. Fountayn completed the comparison of both approaches and saw time savings of up to 65% when utilizing eSource methodology.

As trials continue to become more global in nature there is a need to emphasize good practice around translation needs. At Fountayn we have driven an optimized translation process, as recognized by a leading regulatory agency, by working closely with long-term partners who understand local requirements in detail.
