Basel, Switzerland, June 21, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Uppsala Clinical Research Center (UCR), a top Academic Research Organization based in Sweden, adopted Ethical eAdjudication® cloud-based platform to manage the central assessment of Clinical Trial Endpoints by an independent CEC (Clinical Endpoint Classification) Committee.
“We are really proud that our new eAdjudication solution will help UCR to improve efficiency while keeping the high quality in the Adjudication procedures" said Mimmo Garibbo, Director of Ethical GmbH.
UCR has decided to use the eAdjudication platform for a large global cardiovascular trial (17.000 patients) but will also use the system for other Trials both Academic and Pharmaceutical in different therapeutic areas.
By adopting Ethical’s adjudication solution UCR staff has access to a cloud-based platform that includes a rich array of integrated online tools to support the management of endpoints assessments and the submission of information packages to the independent CEC Committee. The Committee members will be able to complete their assessments by following a pre-defined workflow. All tasks are performed within a quality-controlled environment that has been designed to reduce the burden of the users through a streamlined process and an easy to use software interface (smart-phone or tablet enabled).
“By using eAdjudication solution the Adjudication Process can be managed 100% by the web based system, without any paperwork. All documentation and information will easily be managed within the system. The CEC members can log in to eAdjudication at any time and at any place. This is very efficient and we can have a great overview of the event status, submission and adjudication,” said Ulrika Bodén Team leader of the CEC department at UCR.
