The IQVIA electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) solution is an advanced study build and execution platform to help optimize real-time, direct-from-patient data collection. Fast, flexible and proven, IQVIA eCOA runs on smart devices trial participants are already familiar with to collect patient data that is clean and ready to use in clinical research and real-world studies. As an agile solution, IQVIA eCOA and provides a superior experience for study teams and patients and accelerates trials so you can bring new medicines to market faster.
The IQVIA eCOA Library provides robust electronic instruments on-demand, giving sponsors instant access to validated tools that are needed in a given study. We currently have over 500 validated and approved assessments and more than 2,200 pre-built eCOA forms in the library and are continuing to add more.

IQVIA eCOA cuts up to three months from the industry standard eCOA development timeline. Our eCOA development timelines are between 4-6 weeks, compared to the industry standard of 12-16+ weeks.
By incorporating an agile development process, and with capabilities including our library of pre-built assessments, IQVIA eCOA dramatically reduces the time to develop these tools while improving data quality and enhancing the patient experience. Current industry timelines for most eCOA vendors is between 12-16 weeks. However, 16 weeks or longer is more common given the outdated technologies utilized and workflow processes that lead to issues and cause delays.

Yes, the IQVIA solution supports bring your own device (BYOD) and provides provisioning services for devices as needed. BYOD approaches can speed trial start-up and eliminate the cost of provisioning and updating devices.
Some sponsors are unfamiliar with how to implement BYOD and secure regulatory support since this is a newer practice in clinical research. Working with a vendor who has experience validating eCOAs for BYOD trials can ensure the pharma company conducts proper due diligence before meeting with regulators. Our team of eCOA experts can help determine whether the BYOD or provisioned device approach will best meet your study goals.

Site staff will be expected to constantly review assessment results, verify completion rates, and transfer data to study databases. Since this represents time spent away from patients, the best eCOA platforms are simple and easy to access with few barriers. Decision makers should focus on the speed and simplicity of workflows, with questions like:

Giving patients the option to download study apps to their phones rather than providing them with an extra piece of study specific hardware is convenient and familiar for users who don’t want to learn a new interface. Patients are also more likely to always have their personal devices with them, making it easy to complete assessments on time. It is another way sponsors can improve compliance and reduce the burden of participation.
Sponsors benefit from lower costs and faster timelines when they don’t have to acquire, ship and manage provisioned devices. This can accelerate study startup while potentially trimming hundreds of thousands of dollars from an overall trial budget.
