Cardialysis has designed a 100% electronic event (or endpoint) adjudication process for your clinical trials.

This system is not only user friendly and quick but you can decide on the main configuration settings. Whether at home or at the office, an event adjudicator can log on to the WebCEC application any time he or she wishes.

Receipt and Scanning of Event-Related
Documents if not already available as electronic images, event-related documents are digitised at Cardialysis and entered into a tracking system. The quality of the scanned images – including ECGs, chest X-rays, MRI images and QCA recordings – is impressive.

Event Management
Potential trial endpoints are filtered from the central study database into the Cardialysis system. Cardialysis links the electronic event-related documents to these potential events and assigns the resulting “e-dossiers” to the Clinical Event Committee (CEC) members for adjudication.

Event Adjudication
Whether at home or at the office, a clinical event adjudicator can log on to the WebCEC application at any time. And without any paperwork; the trial protocol, event definitions, event-related documents and adjudication questionnaire are all on-line. The web-based application itself is protected (by username and passcode) and environment-secure.

Immediate results
The application checks the consistency among the adjudicators’ individual answers instantly. Matching results are final and immediately available for statistical processing. Inconsistently adjudicated cases are typically discussed and resolved during CEC “consensus meetings” (face-to-face or WebEx). Consistency rules can be defined freely.
