Abstract
This Health Industry Insights report provides an overview of the
eClinical ecosystem and detailed analysis of the commercial EDC vendor
landscape. The use of commercial electronic data capture solutions in
the life science industry continues to grow as companies seek
to more quickly and effectively collect and use clinical data
to accelerate time to market for new drugs and devices.
As part of the broader eClinical value chain, EDC has
typically been the initial entry point into eClinical solutions, resulting
in the growth of a wide variety of commercial vendors
in the space. Life science customers seeking EDC solutions need
to be able to differentiate EDC vendors based on their
specific needs to pick the right solution.
Dr. Alan Louie, a
research director with Health Industry Insights, says, "In this increasingly
complex, global life science ecosystem, companies need to carefully determine
how EDC and broader eClinical solutions can meet their clinical
development needs. Smaller life science companies, in particular, should take
notice, since it is becoming increasingly possible to directly exploit
eClinical solutions directly to perform their own clinical trials."
