The potential gains from EDC are now well understood across
the clinical trials industry, including lowering long-term study
costs, minimizing errors, providing access to real-time data,
improved data access, and reducing trial duration. They also
supports patient-centric approach to research.
This says, while the value of EDC in late stage clinical research
is now well-established, adoption in early phase clinical trials
has been slow. Historically, early phase clinical trials, mainly
among smaller and mid-sized organizations chose paper-based
processes owing to shorter study durations and lower subject
counts, the expected initial setup cost of electronic data
capture systems and the extra training needed for study
teams, to mention only a few reasons. But its important for
researchers to understand that early phase research programs
could also significantly benefit from EDC application.
