Operational Details

Service Inputs - Study Protocol / Study Design: Definition of the clinical study (CIP) - Regulatory Requirements: Specification of applicable standards/regulations - User & Role Concept: Number and roles of study users
Service Outputs - Data Management Plan: fully formulated and regulatory-compliant DMP and Standard Opterating Procedures (SOP) - Configured eCRF Platform: ready for clinical study - Compliant Data Repository: Regulatory-compliant stored study and patient data - Export/Reporting Packages: Structured data exports for analysis & submission - Training Materials & Onboarding: User documentation and initial training for study personnel
Comments - The service can be offered as a full package (setup + hosting + support) or as partial services (e.g., configuration only). - The platform is modular and can be scaled for both single-center and multi-center studies. - Changes to the eCRF after study start (amendments) are possible but are versioned and documented in the audit trail. - Close coordination with clinical study personnel during the design phase is recommended to minimize post-hoc modifications.
