PICI’s Best Practices for Building Oncology Studies in an EDC

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Pharmaceutical, Drug Discovery & Development,
  • Thursday, February 04, 2021

The Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (PICI) runs complex clinical trials that depend on an electronic data capture (EDC) system that is adaptive, flexible and innovating at the same pace as their patient-centric mission.

Learn why their legacy EDC system workarounds and custom functions no longer sustained their business, which motivated them to take a new approach. In this webinar, Toby Odenheim, the Director of Technology and Governance, will share how PICI decided to adopt a new EDC system that streamlines the build process for oncology trials and how they better equip their clinical programmers and data managers. PICI’s lead study builder, Gary Smith, will provide a hands-on perspective and share strategies to handle the key challenges that oncology teams face with EDC systems, including:

  • Umbrella trials that evaluate multiple therapies
  • Adaptive trial branching and routing
  • Having an unknown number of treatment cycles
  • Amendments and other unplanned changes

Register now to hear experts from PICI explain how to streamline the building of oncology trials with new EDC technology.
