The document discusses 5 enhancements that can be made to a clinical trial management system (CTMS). They include: 1) adding investigational product tracking between manufacturers, depots, and sites; 2) implementing electronic signatures for trip reports; 3) configuring additional protocol progress metrics; 4) enhancing the ability to track and report on protocol expenses; and 5) expanding site selection search criteria. Demos are provided for some of the enhancements.

# 1: INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT TRACKING
Setup
– Create new screens & views to track
• Manufacturer & depot
• Inventory transactions that occur between the depot and site
• Inventory levels at each depot and site
10. 10
# 1: INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT TRACKING
How It Works
– Create manufacturer and depot records
• Record outbound transactions under manufacturer or depot as they occur
• Track inventory information for depots and sites, such as dates, number of units
received, and number of units destroyed
11. 11
# 1: INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT TRACKING
Pros
– Robust inventory tracking at depot and site level
– Increased inventory level visibility at depot and site
– Optimal querying and reporting capability
– Complete traceability
Cons

#2: ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES FOR TRIP REPORTS
Paper Process Challenges for Trip Reports
• Completion of the trip report is not centralized
• Submission of trip report for review occurs outside of an electronic system
• Versions and iterations of trip reports get lost
• Review of trip reports occur outside of an electronic system
• Final version of trip report is routed manually for signature
• Paper copy is then scanned and archived
14. 14
#2: ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES FOR TRIP REPORTS
Approval Options
• Ink signatures
• Re-authentication for status changes
• Visible audit trail of status changes

#3: PROTOCOL PROGRESS
Commonly Requested CTMS Metrics
• Metrics to capture and track clinical information at multiple levels (protocol, region, and
country level)
• Metrics to monitor the project status and benchmark it against performance milestones,
critical events, and budgeted costs
• Subject status and enrollment rates plotted for sites, regions, and protocols
17. 17
#3: PROTOCOL PROGRESS
Additional Metrics Available via Configuration

– High-level view of progress of all studies
• Protocol name, status, phase, etc.
– Planned vs. actual
• Subject forecasting: # screened, # enrolled, # completed, etc.
• Site progress: # initiated, # active, # completed, etc.

#4: PROTOCOL EXPENSES
Vanilla
• No way to tell total spend in conducting a study
• Only investigator payments
Additional Needs for Finance Tracking
• Ability to budget amounts for specific types of expenses
• Ability to track actual as they are incurred
• Ability to track totals across payment types as well as grand totals of all expenses
separate from investigator payments
