- Provide sites with a personalized view of tasks, requests and due dates, with reminder alerts and a secure communication channel to ensure timely site activation
- Monitor process progress with real-time activity dashboards and meet regulatory compliance with detailed access reports and audit trails
IntraLinks, which is already used by the top 10 global pharmaceuticals, biotechs and Contract Research Organizations (CROs), also offers a collaborative platform for site recruitment and safety reporting as part of its suite of solutions. IntraLinks for Site Recruitment enables users to eliminate the redundancy and manual tasks related to feasibility survey creation, distribution and collection. IntraLinks for Safety Document Exchange provides a secure environment where safety teams can receive notifications, route them for review, and instantaneously distribute subsequent letters to all parties requiring notification in an intelligent, automated and auditable fashion.
“The clinical research community has trusted IntraLinks for over 10 years to securely exchange information and accelerate processes, while upholding quality and maintaining regulatory compliance,” said Fahim Siddiqui, executive vice president, product & operations, IntraLinks. “IntraLinks for Study Management expands our offering and enables our customers to use us from start to finish for clinical trials, meeting a critical business need. For example, we estimate that companies can save two million dollars in study start-up costs and reduce cycle time by 50% for an average Phase III clinical trial when using IntraLinks instead of traditional paper-based methods of document distribution, collection and collaboration.”
