Hiding in plain sight – CRIO eSource is the biggest opportunity for sponsors. While the clinical research industry has automated many processes, there is one area that is still mostly paper-bound. This is the source of one of the greatest inefficiencies in research today. Automating this one process could drive 20% cost savings in a...
The new FDA guidance to enhance diversity in clinical research subjects has brought ethnic and racial diversity to the center stage for sponsors. In this document, the FDA encourages sponsors to develop a Race and Ethnic Diversity Plan to incorporate into each protocol. More specifically, the FDA suggests that to achieve these diversity targets, sponsors...
Enrollment is critical to a trial, and site performance is a major – if not the most important – driver of that. We’ve always known that our full stack system enables sites to increase efficiency and enhance data quality, but do sites who use CRIO actually enroll more? We now have data to prove that...
CRIO’s integrated eSource-EDC model revolutionizes both the data entry process at the site level and the monitoring process from the CRO perspective. According to a third party survey of CRAs who have used CRIO, CRAs agreed by a margin of 23:1 that this new model would increase overall trial efficiency, improve data quality, and enhance...
Over 13,000 protocols have gone through the CRIO system, and in the vast majority of them, CRAs have used CRIO to monitor source. We’ve always heard from our sites that their CRAs love the system, but now we have proof. According to a third party survey of CRAs who have used CRIO, by a healthy...
The daunting task of COVID-19 trials The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic posed a new challenge for sponsors. They needed to execute clinical trials at a rate that has never been accomplished before. To succeed, they needed sites that could conduct the trials at unprecedented speed. These are sites with short start-up times, existing large...
The FDA routinely audits clinical research sites, and some of those sites happened to use CRIO eSource on the studies in question. With our broad reach and history as the leading site-adopted eSource solution, we have now established a database of audit results that prove what we’ve known intuitively: CRIO eSource reduces audit risks for...

This document describes CRIO’s integrated eSource/EDC model, in which source data is collected electronically by the site using CRIO’s eSource system, then transmitted automatically to CRIO’s Reviewer EDC module or to legacy EDC systems, which allows sponsors to review, query, code, lock and extract the data. This model unlocks significant savings for the sponsor/CRO, mainly...
Increased efficiencies Despite the myriad of additional issues caused by COVID, our study team’s efficiency dramatically increased with remote monitoring. I have long been a proponent of the potential of eSource and its advantages in clinical trials. From my experience as a CRA (Clinical Research Associate) I first wrote about eSource in November 2018, SOCRA...
