Assign eClinical apps to sponsor

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 is added to the eClinical platform by the EDETEK dev team, you can create sponsors for the client's company. Once the sponsor is created, you can associate this sponsor with the CTMS, eTMF, and PV eClinical applications in the needed lifecycles. This process ensures that all sponsors' studies can be properly maintained using the eClinical platform.

Important

The association of any sponsor with the CTMS and eTMF applications is mandatory because it is integral to maintaining comprehensive study oversight and documentation storage throughout the clinical trial management processes. Sponsors will have access to the PV application based on the client's services purchased from EDETEK.
