Delete study

A study refers to a research investigation designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and other relevant aspects of a medical intervention, such as a drug, device, or treatment. Studies are conducted by a sponsor to gather data and evidence to support regulatory approval and contribute to the scientific understanding of medical interventions and preventions for existing ailments.

When the necessary sponsors are added to the client's company, you can create studies for each sponsor. Once the study is created, it can be deleted before being associated with any eClinical applications. This provides flexibility in the early stages of study development and implementation.

Important

You can only delete studies that have no applications assigned to them in any eClinical lifecycle.

To delete a study

  1. In the ADMIN application header, select the HIERARCHIES tab.

  2. In the left pane of the page that opens, select the needed sponsor icon_sponsor_level.png.

Once confirmed, the study is deleted for a specific sponsor.

In this section:

Any person, company, institution, group, or organization that is a client of EDETEK and a user of the eClinical system.

In the eClinical system, the Sponsor role is assigned to the user who oversees or pays for a clinical trial and collects and analyzes the data. Before the study goes live, the Sponsor users work closely with the data managers, configuring CRFs and other aspects to make sure everything meets their requirements before giving the green light for the study to go live. In the course of a trial, the Sponsor users make requests for amendments in the system according to a new protocol version, changes in business requirements, or other needs.
