Key Features of Oracle Inform
Versatile Study Design
Oracle InForm accommodates studies with multiple treatment arms and cohorts, each with varied assessment schedules. It allows for the definition of potential patient pathways through complex studies and displays only the relevant electronic case report form (eCRF) pages based on reported patient data.
Efficient Data Management
The system features embedded workflows that enable efficient management of discrepancies by Data Managers. Discrepancy data management capabilities systematically route information to specific study personnel.
Advanced Edit Checks
Oracle InForm supports sophisticated edit checks across all eCRF pages, catering to very complex studies. It also allows for defining the need for source data verification at the case report form (CRF) level to support risk-based monitoring.
Flexible Protocol Amendments
Mid-study protocol changes can be implemented without data migration, simplifying the process of rolling out amendments. Complete control over protocol amendments is provided, with the ability to stagger and schedule the rollout in accordance with local regulatory timelines. Study version assignments can be specified per site, allowing sites to upgrade to new study versions on their own schedule. In-place revisions can apply changes to all existing and new subjects.
Enhanced Reporting Capabilities
Oracle InForm offers outstanding reporting capabilities, including standard reports such as Audit Trail Reports, CRF Aging by Site, CRF Cycle Time Detail by Site, CRF Site Performance Summary by Site, CRF Status Detail by Site and Subject, CRF Status Detail by Visit and Site, CRF Status Summary by Site, and CRF Status Summary by User, among others. User-defined reports are quickly configurable, with over 150 operational reports available for self-service. Preprogrammed operational and clinical data models are provided for building ad hoc reports, graphs, and charts without requiring technical experience.
Data Viewer for Actionable Insight
The InForm Data Viewer enables users to assess and lock a site, multiple sites, or an entire trial within minutes. It includes a data comparison tool that reduces manual checks, with comparison views for adverse events (AE) and concomitant medications (Con Med) simplifying reconciliation. Users can review trends across clinical or operational data, view comments for clinical data, and export to Excel, reducing the need for programming support and allowing for ad-hoc reporting on both operational and clinical data without delays or change orders.
Global Library and Templates
Page elements can be saved in a Global Library for use in new studies. Study templates can be created using objects from the existing library, streamlining the creation of new studies.
Robust Data Export and Analysis
Data can be easily exported to SAS data sets for statisticians, supporting interim analysis. Built on powerful and robust Oracle technology, InForm has demonstrated proven scalability and performance, having successfully supported thousands of clinical studies across various development phases and patient populations worldwide.
Integrated Medical Coding
The system features integrated medical coding with the latest MedDRA and WHO Drug dictionaries. Coding is automatic but can be customized for drugs, therapeutic areas, sponsors, and geographic regions.
Oracle Technology
Utilizing state-of-the-art Oracle 11g 64-bit database technology, Oracle InForm ensures high performance and scalability. ClinDatrix performs annual dictionary upgrades under change control, maintaining full validation of the system.
Comprehensive Training
A self-paced e-learning system is used for training clinical site personnel, sponsors, and clinical research associates (CRAs) in the use of the system, ensuring thorough understanding and efficient use of Oracle InForm.
