Fast, flexible and proven, IQVIA’s industry-leading electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) platform ramps up efficiencies, delivers real-time data, and sharpens insights through best-in-class technology and a better patient experience.
Electronic clinical outcomes assessments (eCOAs) don’t just simplify data collection. They give researchers almost instant access to patient data, which accelerates their ability to identify trends and make decisions. The impact of this speed and agility on a trial is that months can be cut from the duration, while lowering costs and mitigating risks, giving sponsors a powerful new tool in the clinical landscape.
With traditional paper-based diaries, researchers have to wait weeks to collect data when patients submit them at on-site appointments. Those paper documents can then pile up for weeks before they are transcribed into the database for review.
That means researchers may wait months before they can review any patient reported outcomes (PROs) from the trial population. It’s a significant front-end delay that adds weeks to the trial and slows decision-making.
With eCOAs that process is transformed. eCOAs are digital assessment tools that capture data directly from the patient via virtual questionnaires and diaries. As soon as the data is recorded, it is transported to the trial database, with no transcription or data transfer steps required.
That means researchers and sponsors can begin assessing PROs on day one of the trial. The impact can be profound.
That near real time insight can help sponsors create safer trials, while providing financial and strategic benefits that may give them an edge in the marketplace. These benefits allow sponsors to:
Regulators and patients expect the patient’s perspective to be represented in clinical research. eCOAs give sponsors a way to capture that perspective quickly and concisely, while accelerating their ability to make decisions about the benefits of the therapy. The speed and agility eCOAs provide benefits everyone in the clinical landscape, making them an essential part of the future of clinical research.
