Clinical trial data collection and management

CW-Research & Management aims to optimise quality control and data management in clinical trials to ensure companies maintain adherence with a continuously growing amount of legal requirements.

The company collects and manages clinical study or safety data using either an in-house electronic case report form (eCRF) or by manually importing paper-based documentation to a custom database for subsequent statistical analysis. This follows the creation of data management and validation plans.

Biometrics and coding for clinical trial data

CW-Research & Management utilises statistical methods to efficiently draw conclusions from clinical trial data.

A prerequisite for the electronic data exchange with regulatory authorities is the use of a coding system. The firm offers coding in accordance with Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification and the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards.
