Intro to EDC and IRT Systems

Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and Interactive Response Technology (IRT) are essential systems in clinical trials. EDC software stores patient data collected during trials, increasing efficiency, ensuring data quality, reducing costs, and ensuring regulatory compliance. IRT manages patient and drug supply logistics, including randomization and site management.

Key Fields and Reports:

• EDC Visits Report: Tracks patient activity per visit, including screened, screen-failed, enrolled, and dropped patients. EDC reports can also capture procedures such as scans and biopsies that patients may undergo during their enrollment in a clinical trial.
• IRT Site Report: Provides site-specific information, including PI information, site recruitment status, and site activation and closure dates.

Why Condor Uses EDC and IRT Data:
Condor incorporates EDC data to recognize visits, procedure, and specialty lab costs for each patient and clinical site for an objective, activity-based investigator grants estimate. IRT data is used to identify active sites and allocate costs appropriately during the study duration, ensuring accurate financial tracking.
