Changemakers in
Clinical Data Management

Easier Amendments

Cara Therapeutics’ fast-paced environment requires processes that support tight deadlines, complex protocol designs, and rapid mid-study changes. Since protocol changes are the most common cause of database build delays, an adaptable EDC is critical to maintaining timelines.


Learn how changemaker Evelyn Dorsey at Cara Therapeutics cut their study build time in half and made 11 mid-study changes with zero downtime and no migrations. Read her story.

Shorter Builds

Vertex Pharmaceuticals shortened database build times by rethinking the traditional build process and leveraging modern ways of working. “Live, interactive UATs are a game-changer, saving a good three to four weeks from our timeline,” says Vikas Gulati, executive director of data management and metrics.
