ClinTrialApp is changing how physicians access information for clinical trials they are actively participating in

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In the world of mobile technology we have an app for everything, but mission-critical information about the clinical trials that physicians are managing seems to be in the prehistoric days.

Clinical trials have inherently become more complex over the years, especially with infectious disease, cardiovascular, oncology and CNS trials. The number of vendors and pharmaceutical company contacts have soared – the average study has 30+ contacts (or affiliate CRO) and more than 18 vendors – that's just on a single study; imagine when a research site is managing 10 studies concurrently. The current method is to keep large binders for each study – just doesn't seem effective in today's environment. Physicians and research staff are no longer stationary – they are in a busy office, multiple offices or in multiple locations.  Information must be mobile.

The majority of large trials are now global, where the complexity is further exacerbated by something basic such as dialing the right country code from one country to another.  According to ClinTrialApp CEO, "I can't believe pharmaceutical companies are this far behind – the research sites need assistance and it comes in the form of a small app for iPhone and Android based devices. Ultimately it's about safety and convenience."

There is basic content that sites need at their finger tips – key medical contacts, vendor contacts, study documents and basic information about the clinical trial – even just for screening patients.  ClinTrialApp brings that context to the research site by allowing physicians and research staff to log into a secure app that manages this type of content for them.
