Introduction
Most students fail to understand what clinical
data management is and why it is required in
clinical trials. A clinical trial aims to
investigate a research question by gathering data
to prove or disprove a hypothesis. Data is thus
an important aspect of any clinical trial or
research. Clinical data management involves a
host of different activities that manage the data
obtained in clinical trials. Clinical data
management training is thus one of the most
important aspects of clinical research training.
Although almost all researchers get involved in
clinical data management is some way, it is not
necessary for all of them to undertake the
training. Clinical data management courses are
good for individuals who wish to chart out a
separate career as a clinical data manager.

Clinical Data Management Tools

• Clinical data management is handled with the use
  of a number of software tools. The training thus
  equips students in using these software tools.
  Because of the nature of the work, students are
  required to be computer literate with at least
  some experience in working with software.
  Clinical data management software tools are
  called CDMS (Clinical Data Management Systems).
  These systems help manage large amounts of data.
  Major pharmaceutical companies use commercial
  CDMS software. Some of these tools are CLINTRIAL,
  RAVE, MACRO, and ORACLE CLINICAL.
• There are no major differences between these
  tools. However, they are quite expensive and
  require a sophisticated IT infrastructure for
  their functioning. Large multinational
  corporations use their own custom made CDM tools.

Clinical Data Management Tools

• However, for practice, students can use free
  tools such as openCDMS, OpenClinica, etc.
  Commonly, clinical data management training uses
  these open source tools, especially the ones that
  are most popularly in use by hospitals and
  clinical trial centres in a particular area. The
  software compares well in terms of functionality
  with their commercial counterparts and can be
  downloaded from their official websites for free.
• The maintenance of data management activities
  audit trail is a very important aspect of
  regulatory submission studies. This audit trail
  is possible through CDMS tools and can also help
  identify and manage discrepancies in the data.

Clinical Data Management Tools

• Individuals involved in a clinical research trial
  have separate user IDs that give them
  user-specific access to data entry, database and
  quality check. Thus, multiple users have limited
  functionalities that are allotted only to that
  specific user.
• This helps keep a track of what changes are made
  at what level, which is helpful in an audit
  trail. When a regulatory audit is conducted for
  clinical trial data, discrepancy management can
  be verified and it can be ensured that no false
  changes or unauthorized alterations are made to
  the data.
• Clinical data management courses help students
  understand these methodologies and how their
  roles will vary in the organization where they
  will work. Clinical data management is governed
  by specific regulations, guidelines and Good
  Practices that all professionals are required to
  strictly adhere to.
