Wipro develops cloud-based portal for clinical trials

Wipro claims the portal platform will cut clinical trial cycle time by 20-30% by speeding up communication and document exchanges between all the stakeholders and the sponsor organisation, the clinical research organizations (CRO) staff, clinical site coordinators and principal investigators.

The Wipro Clinical Collaboration portal enforces SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) across the groups which are involved in clinical trials to adhere to regulatory frameworks such as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines to avoid any oversight in the trial management process.

Wipro Technologies Life Sciences Solutions vice president and vertical head Srinivas Rao said the portal is supported by Wipro’s trial framework and an integrated electronic data capture (EDC), interactive voice recording system (IVRS), electronic trial master file, document management systems and clinical trial management system (CTMS) solutions with a zero CAPEX in a system.

"A platform which enables the exchange of documents and communication in compliance with standards like CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) part 11, while performing the clinical trials relieves our customers from worrying about the compliance and validation of any solution used in the clinical trial space and helps them focus better on core trial conduct and efficiency," Rao said.
