Product Summary
Intended Audiences:
Clinical Trialists, Protocol Builders, Data Managers, Research Nurses, Site Monitors, Clinical Research Associates
Area of Focus: Clinical Trials Management Primary Workspace: CTMS
Product Description:

Cancer Central Clinical Database (C3D) is a clinical trials data management system. C3D collects clinical trial data using standard case report forms (CRFs) based on common data elements (CDEs). C3D utilizes security procedures to protect patient confidentiality and maintain an audit trail as required by FDA regulations. C3D currently supports electronic submission of clinical trials data to the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Clinical Data System (CDS) and the Clinical Trials Monitoring Service (CTMS/Theradex). C3D consists of three web-based components: Oracle Clinical, for protocol building; Remote Data Capture, for data entry and management; and Integrated Review / Java Review, for real-time access to clinical data within and across clinical studies to authorized users.

There are two ways to adopt C3D: (1) utilize the hosted solution from NCICB or, (2) install it at your Cancer Center.
