| DURHAM, N.C., March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry-wide, spreadsheets have long been the go-to method for tracking clinical trial start-up, but now a new purpose-built solution is available that has been created expressly to improve efficiency and quality in a clinical trial’s study start-up across the entire clinical development process.
Remarque Systems’ Study Start-Up application is accelerating the end of the spreadsheet — which, incredibly, an estimated 81% of clinical trials are still using to manage study start-up.1 This latest innovation from Remarque Systems is designed with CROs and sponsors in mind. Remarque Systems’ Study Start-Up application addresses common downsides of spreadsheets in clinical trials by boosting the work rate, reducing the risk of human error, improving regulatory compliance, and bolstering team collaboration. One of the most significant limitations of working with spreadsheets has been their inability to prompt new actions as previous steps are completed — and Remarque Systems solves this as well, according to Remarque Systems CTO and Founder Joe Goodgame. “The beauty of our application is that it’s simple to set up, easy to configure, and is up and running with minimal training,” Goodgame explained. “Turn it on and begin implementation the very next day. It’s a seamless integration that does not require installation of any other technology. Plus, it guides the user beyond the start-up process all the way to study closure.” Goodgame added that Remarque Systems’ Study Start-Up application puts a premium on process optimization, rapid communication, and increased visibility. The system is entirely customizable for a study’s needs and can be bundled with Remarque Systems’ Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS), Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) system, or both. Streamlined workflows in real-time and increased team communication “Regardless of any interruptions in a trial’s chain of activities, the application enables the team to stay focused on the priorities that are key to reaching the study’s goal,” Remarque Systems Study Start-Up Product Owner Meghan Donahue said. “In a clinical trial landscape where one action can have an unpredictable and chaotic cascading effect on other steps in the critical path, Remarque Systems’ application acts like a global positioning system that keeps the clinical team and sponsor on course.” Donahue noted that using spreadsheets, maintaining multiple trackers, comparing data across trackers, and manually calculating results is tedious and time-consuming. In contrast, the Study Start-Up application synchronizes with multiple sources, eliminating data entry duplication and identifying process improvement and other efficiencies.
