EDC Benchmarking and Market Dynamics (5th Ed.)

Report Overview

Electronic data capture (EDC) systems have been a part of the clinical trial ecosystem for several decades. Originally developed for the collection of clinical data in an electronic format to reduce errors from paper transcription and improve data quality, EDC systems are now one of the most mature clinical technologies on the market. However, there are constant pressures to evolve, from supporting integration with other technologies to accommodating the new era of decentralized trials.

In order to keep up with the rapidly changing market, we at Industry Standard Research have refreshed our EDC Benchmarking and Market Dynamics Report to help pharmaceutical sponsor organizations and CROs make more informed EDC selection decisions and to help EDC providers optimize operational or marketing strategies.

This report contains a wealth of information on the provider selection process, including the criteria that are most important in choosing an EDC provider and the functions and factors that influence outsourcing decisions. Sponsor organizations and CROs can learn how individual EDC providers perform along key attributes such as Integration with eCOA/ePRO, IRT, CTMS, and other data systems; Ease of use for sites; and Start-up timelines, database build speed.

For EDC systems or providers of other clinical technologies, this research measures key aspects of brand strength and usage of the different solutions on the market. The report also contains verbatim feedback from customers for their preferred EDC providers, as well as a pulse on trends in direct data capture, reducing site burden, improving patient oversight, and operational efficiency. Armed with these insights, EDC providers can understand more about their perceived strengths and weaknesses and focus on the capabilities that matter most to potential customers.
