- Protocol and life cycle management (e.g., set up and activation of studies, management of committees, verification of subject eligibility, registration of subjects on study, accrual monitoring, study reporting, etc.)
- Subject safety management (e.g., automated notifications within/across studies, summarization of adverse event and serious adverse event data by grade and attribution, tracking of outside safety reports, etc.)
- Protocol and subject calendar management (i.e., study and subject-specific management of study parameters including subject treatment, visits and data collection schedules)
- Electronic data capture, data management and custom reporting
- Paperless committee management (i.e., scientific review, data and safety monitoring)
- Study information portal (i.e., automatic posting of specified study information to the Cancer Institute website)
- Tissue tracking
