Sponsor administration
A sponsor is an individual or organization responsible for initiating clinical research. Sponsors play a pivotal role in the development and execution of the trial, overseeing its design, implementation, and regulatory compliance. The sponsor can be a pharmaceutical company, academic institution, government agency, or entity that funds and coordinates the clinical trial process.
When the company, which is the top-level entity in the hierarchy, is added to the eClinical platform by the EDETEK dev team, you can create and manage sponsors. All sponsors are maintained via the ADMIN interface according to clinical trial specifications defined by the client's company.
While working with sponsor entities within the ADMIN hierarchy structure, you can use the following options:
-
Add a new sponsor to the company so the studies can then be created for each sponsor.
-
Update an existing sponsor if some details need to be modified.
-
Inactivate a sponsor when it is no longer working for the client's company.
-
Assign eClinical apps to a sponsor so the future sponsor's studies can be maintained within the eClinical platform.
