An eClinical application that is mainly used to collect and manage subject data during clinical trials. It integrates with the Study Designer (SD) application and uses preconfigured there case report forms (CRFs) to complete data collection and management. It also provides an audit trail, data alert, source data verification (SDV), payment management, adjudication, and other functions as well as supports data export according to the CDISC ODM standard.
Get to know all the possibilities of the app with the comprehensive EDC User Guide.
- Electronic Data Capture System (EDC System)
-
In the clinical research industry, a software that is used to collect and store subject data in the clinical trial process in a permanent electronic form.
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
-
A service provided by EDETEK to facilitate exchanges of information, such as XMLs. This can either be data transmitted by external groups outside of EDETEK to be received by the EDETEK team (for example, migration of cases from other databases to be entered in the EDETEK PV system), or data to be sent out by the EDETEK team to external parties (for example, submission of cases to regulatory authorities or other companies via gateway).
- Electronic Data Interchange Gateway (EDI Gateway)

- Electronic Diary (eDiary)
-
An eClinical mobile application used for the collection and management of clinical data of subjects, supporting iOS and Android systems. It is based on the electronic CRF provided by the Study Designer application to support subjects' self-recording of treatment and diagnosis information.
- Electronic Trial Master File (eTMF)
-
An electronic version of a trial master file (TMF) is a type of content management system for a clinical trial used to organize and store files required for compliance with government regulatory authorities like the FDA, EMA, or others.

- enrollment
-

- essential documents
-
A type of documentation in the clinical trial that permits the quality evaluation of the clinical trial's conduct to ensure that the collected data is credible and the participants' trial rights and well-being are protected.
These documents include: Trial Protocol and Amendments, Investigator’s Brochure (IB), Informed Consent Form (ICF) and any updates, Ethics Committee (EC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB) Approval, Curriculum Vitae (CVs) of Investigators, Clinical Trial Agreement, Financial Disclosure Forms, Insurance Statement, Regulatory Authority Authorization, and Laboratory Certification/Norms.
- European Medical Agency (EMA)
-

- expedited reporting
-
In pharmacovigilance, expedited or non-expedited reporting means how quickly the Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR) must be submitted to regulatory authorities based on its seriousness, expectedness, and causality. Expedited cases are urgent and usually reported within a timeline established by regulatory authorities. Non-expedited reports are not urgent and can be submitted with periodic safety reports.
