ePRO and Agile Methodology: A Winning End-to-End Solution for Oncology Studies

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials,
  • Wednesday, May 08, 2019

Oncology clinical trials present a particularly unique set of challenges for patients, study sites and study sponsors. Using electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO) in conjunction with agile methodology enables nimble andefficient clinical data management solutions that can be deployed faster and benefit all groups equally.

Onsite ePRO technology can help oncology study team personnel: 

  • Streamline electronic data capture for oncology questionnaires and test results
  • Eliminate the need for data transcription 
  • Simplify complex protocol workflows
  • Improve data monitoring results

One key is using configurable technology that contains libraries of stored information. For example, standard oncology questionnaires like EORTC QLQ-C30, FACIT-Fatigue and EuroQoL EQ-5D-5L can be licensed and quickly deployed for use in any study. By relying on solutions that directly address the challenges, site personnel reap the benefits of increased clinical patient time and data quality.

For patients, the right ePRO solution can simplify and improve their clinical trial experience. Patients appreciate the ease-of-use that at-home ePRO devices afford over more cumbersome paper-based options. Utilizing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution further helps patients overcome any data capture obstacles by employing devices that patients are already familiar with. Additionally, there is evidence to support that some oncology patient outcomes may improve with the use of ePRO technology as opposed to paper data collection materials due to timeliness and site notification of worsening symptoms.

In this webinar, the featured speakers will discuss how ePRO technology  based on agile methodology – improves data monitoring and benefits oncology clinical trials because it can be developed faster, it eases the burden on sites and it improves patient engagement.
