A Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) is a software solution designed for the life sciences industry, commonly used to manage processes and large volumes of data associated with clinical trial and study management.
A typical CTMS oversees the planning, preparation, execution, and reporting of clinical trials, emphasizing up-to-date contact information for participants and tracking deadlines and milestones, such as regulatory approvals and progress reports.
In some instances, a CTMS may integrate with business intelligence systems, serving as a digital dashboard for trial managers.
