Data Management & Statistics

Secure and regulatory-compliant clinical biometry solutions

According to the requirements of a particular study, we select the most effective subcontracting solution among our different partners, consisting of highly qualified and experienced data managers and statisticians.

 

We can collect data in a traditional paper Case Report Form (CRF), or from an electronic Case Report Form (eCRF). In the case of eCRF, electronical clinical data capture (EDC) is performed and clinical trial data are electronically submitted to a remote database, allowing real-time data availability.
