An Introduction to Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS) [Video]

Clinical trial management systems, or CTMS, support the operational management of clinical trials. This video explains how CTMS differs from electronic data capture, how it helps teams track study activity, and where it can support earlier, better-informed oversight.

WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS
• The difference between CTMS and EDC
• Site activation, recruitment, monitoring and milestone tracking
• How CTMS data can support risk-based monitoring
• Why spreadsheets, shared drives and email can weaken controlled oversight
• The role of integration in hybrid and decentralised trials
• What to assess when selecting or reviewing a CTMS

A CTMS is most useful when it helps teams identify operational issues early, follow up consistently and maintain clear records of decisions. Its value depends on how well it fits real study workflows, connects with other systems and supports the people using it.

Quanticate’s clinical data management team utilise CTMS aligned with ICH E6(R3) risk-based quality management, decentralised trial support, and participant-centric design to centralise your data, streamline workflows across EDC, eTMF, finance, and patient tools, and deliver real-time oversight dashboards with critical-to-quality metrics.
