Client : University of Pennsylvania Weight and Eating Disorders Program - Clinical Trials Database

Business Issue :
The Weight and Eating Disorders Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine engaged BroadBase Solutions, Inc. to develop a Clinical Trials Database Application. The University needed a robust scalable application for a study on the much talked about Atkins diet. The study will run for 5 years and include multiple sites and a diverse population.

The application encompasses several modules: an Administration Module to add and edit user rights, sychronize data from multiple sites, and the ability to create new groups that participants can be assigned to, a Billing System that tracks payment and refunding for each participant, a Data Entry Clinical Forms Module that allows data to be entered for 30+ forms, a Scheduling Module that allows the user to view the schedule of the site, study, or participant over a selectable time period, and a robust Reporting Module with the ability to search on multiple criteria across all sites.

Solution :
BroadBase Solutions designed and developed a real time custom Clinical Trials Database Application that has individual modules, which can be reused for additional studies. BroadBase leveraged its knowledge of Clinical Trials and FDA regulations, (CFR 21 Part 11) to systematically manage data and provide QA checks in a validated system.

Result :
The University has a custom built validated Clinical Trials Database that meets their specific needs and provided robust reporting capabilities. Developing the modules independently gives the University the ability to reuse them for other studies.

Development Tools :
Visual Basic, COM, ASP, VBScript, JavaScript, DHTML, HTML, Crystal Reports and SQL Server.
