CTMS

A Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) refers to software systems and technology used by the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to manage processes and large amounts of data involved with clinical trial management and clinical study management.

A typical CTMS maintains and manages the planning, preparation, performance, and reporting of clinical trials, with an emphasis on keeping up-to-date contact information for participants and tracking deadlines and milestones such as those for regulatory approval or the issue of progress reports.

In some cases, a CTMS may also provide data to a business intelligence system, which acts as a digital dashboard for trial managers.
