| 20120023413 | VIRTUAL DATA ROOM FOR DISPLAYING CLINICAL TRIAL STATUS REPORTS BASED ON REAL-TIME CLINICAL TRIAL DATA, WITH INFORMATION CONTROL ADMINISTRATION MODULE THAT SPECIFIES WHICH REPORTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR DISPLAY - A system is provided for use in distributing information associated with an investigational product, such as a pharmaceutical drug. The information includes electronic documents associated with the investigational product, and a plurality of different electronic reports based on real-time patient clinical study data of the investigational product. The system includes a database that stores the electronic documents, a virtual data room that is in electronic communication with the database and which includes a memory that stores the electronic reports, an information presentation module, and an information control administration module. The information presentation module causes a display of the information to a user of the virtual data room via a display screen. The electronic reports are generated using the real-time patient clinical study data when requested to be displayed. The information control administration module specifies which electronic reports will be made available to the user. Only the specified electronic reports are selectable for display on the display screen by the user of the virtual data room. In this manner, only the specified electronic reports may be generated for display to a user of the virtual data room. | 01-26-2012 |

A plurality of electronically tracked site-based milestones and separate country-based milestones are provided for the clinical trial. Each site is associated with a country. The status of the site-based milestones and country-based milestones are electronically tracked in a database. The site-based milestones and the country-based milestones are tracked separately from each other. A displayable report of the status of the electronically tracked site-based milestones and country-based milestones is automatically generated in a processor. The report separately identifies the status of the site-based milestones and the country-based milestones. Also, each site-based milestone is categorized into one of the plurality of milestone groups, and the report shows the status of the site-based milestone groups. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20100324931 | METHOD AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR PERFORMING CLINICAL TRIAL BUDGET ANALYSIS - An electronic method and article of manufacture is provided for analyzing clinical trial budgets. A clinical trial budget is input into a processor. The budget includes activities and associated activity costs of a clinical trial. The activities of the inputted clinical trial budget are classified into a set of standardized service categories. The processor is used to electronically allocate the associated activity costs with the respective standardized service category so that budget costs of the clinical trial can be objectively analyzed. A report of the associated activity costs with the respective standardized service category is outputted for use in analyzing budgets for clinical trials. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100185464 | AUTOMATED IDENTIFICATION OF TASK ITEMS THAT MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE A CLINICAL TRIAL DATABASE CAN BE LOCKED - An automated method is provided for generating summary data regarding task items that must occur to achieve a database lock for a clinical trial study that is performed based on a previously defined clinical trial protocol. The clinical trial study is managed using a processor and a database in communication with the processor. The database includes clinical trial data and the status of the data for a plurality of patients participating in the clinical trial study. At least one clinical database lock criterion is defined for the study from at least a plurality of user-selected subsets of the clinical trial data. The processor receives the at least one clinical database lock criterion for the study, and the clinical trial data and the status of the data, as retrieved from the database, for the plurality of patients participating in the clinical trial study as defined by the clinical database lock criteria. The processor then automatically and programmatically generates summary data regarding task items that must occur to achieve the database lock as defined by the at least one clinical database lock criterion, using the clinical trial data and the status of the data. Different summary data will be generated for different clinical database lock criteria. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100049545 | AUTOMATED IDENTIFICATION OF TASKS THAT MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE A CLINICAL TRIAL DATABASE CAN BE LOCKED - Management of a database lock for a clinical trial study is provided. A database is provided that includes clinical trial data and the status of the data for a plurality of patients. Lock criteria is defined for the study from a plurality of selectable subsets of the clinical trial data. A processor automatically generates a list of tasks that must occur to achieve the lock defined by the lock criteria using the clinical trial data and the status of the data. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100004961 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCOUNTING AND CONTRACTING FOR CLINICAL TRIAL STUDIES - A clinical trial study is modeled for automatically generating business intelligence information regarding the clinical trial study. The clinical trial study has a total budget amount and a total amount of deliverables. A software application program is provided that has equations and business rules that together define a process, a timeline, and deliverables associated with the clinical trial study. The program is populated with items including entities that have been contracted to provide the deliverables to the clinical trial study, budget items and amounts related to the deliverables for the respective entities that have been contracted to provide the deliverables, and for at least some of the budget items, a time frame in which the budget item is expected to be incurred or paid. Business intelligence information is then automatically generated using the equations and business rules in the program, and the items entered into the program. The business intelligence information includes appropriate invoice payments for the deliverables for the respective entities that have been contracted to provide the deliverables at a specific time frame, an accounting for the clinical trial study, and cash flow needs for the clinical trial study. | 01-07-2010 |
