Study decommissioning list

Study decommissioning is the final stage of study management in the eClinical system as it refers to formally ending your trial once it is completed, suspended, or terminated. The decommissioning procedure is usually performed by the project management (PM) team, who typically oversee the planning, execution, and completion of the clinical trial.

In eClinical, the ADMIN application is a final link in the chain of decommissioning activities. Certain preconditions must be met to be able to see your study in the decommissioning list of ADMIN:

Once the study is added to the decommissioning list, you can track its status and details, as explained in the following table.
