CTMS Benchmarking & Market Dynamics (3rd Ed.)

110 Qualified CTMS Decision Makers were Surveyed Regarding Their Insights on Topics Such as CTMS Selection Drivers, Outsourcing Trends, Use, and Perceptions of Providers

Since the publisher released their first report on CTMS in 2014, the size of the eClinical market has grown significantly. Sources project that the eClinical industry will continue to grow by another ~13% in the next 5 to 7 years. In that time, the eClinical industry has evolved away from individual technologies and toward integrated Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS) that provide clinical trial managers at sponsor organizations, CROs, and sites access to a centralized reporting system.

These solutions support patient recruitment and enrollment, site identification and monitoring, budgeting and financial planning, compliance with government regulations, project management and reporting, compatibility with other systems such as EDC, eTMF, ePRO, and IRT, and more.

As the push for further technological integration and innovation continues, the publisher aims to stay abreast of the market dynamics and to benchmark service provider performance against the needs of CTMS customers. We surveyed 121 qualified CTMS decision-makers to gather their insights on the importance of various attributes in selecting a CTMS provider as well as their satisfaction with the performance of various CTMS providers against those same attributes. Survey respondents identified “must-have” technical capabilities for CTMS solutions, described current trends in outsourcing, and provided an outlook on the provisioning models they expect to see over the next two years. 

The publisher also asked respondents to provide direct feedback on what their preferred providers do well and what they can improve upon, as well as suggestions for how the next generation of CTMS can grow and support hybrid/decentralized trials.
