Increased Clinical Trial Efficiency
Minimizes Data Entry Errors & Reduces Cost - How?
Metrics from standard clinical studies show patient data entered into more than four different places by four different layers of personnel handling a trial. It is estimated that duplication of data entry is in the region of 25% without one source of validation. For those studies with Cenduit’s IRT, our system is the first point of entry for all patient data, reducing the frequency in which this data must be entered into the system. This significantly reduces data entry errors, reducing unnecessary costs associated with inefficient processes and extended timelines.
Drug/Material Reconciliation Functionality and Rich Material Resupply Capability - How?
Typical overage in clinical trials can exceed 200% of the actual drug needed in order to conduct a study, with a huge regulatory impact of expiry date inaccuracy. Sophisticated algorithms are required to configure supplies management, requiring supply chain core competence provided by IRT personnel. The Cenduit solution provides drug/material reconciliation functionality and a rich material resupply capability.
The Cenduit generic resupply tool maximizes study efficiencies:
- Reducing costs by using a functionally rich configurable resupply tool to create a customized study algorithm
- Ensuring kit supply at site is always sufficient to meet demands of subjects and cutting drug overage using a forecasting algorithm
- Cost savings by optimizing quantities of kits on orders when an order is required
- Capping properties ensure sites do not get over-stocked leading to wastage (e.g. cold storage)
- Automatically suppressing potentially unblinding orders
- Strong visibility on problems found with site stock, utilizing automated alerts and email notifications ensuring prompt action and consultation
- Single/Multi/Mixed block packaging is handled in the events that drug manufacturing and packaging is inconsistent across the global scope of a trial
The Cenduit IRT (CIRT) system has the capability to manage drug reconciliation via various approaches including on-line interactive returns reporting and automatic triggers for courier pick-up. This functionality ensures that final disposition of all materials packaged and distributed throughout the life time of a clinical study can be achieved.
