Clinical data is the most valuable asset to pharmaceutical companies as it serves as the basis for approval and marketing of new drugs. Clinical data is collected from various sources like clinical trial sites, laboratories, and subjects. It is important to manage clinical data carefully to minimize errors and ensure data quality. Clinical data management systems are used to store clinical trial data gathered at sites and help researchers analyze the data while maintaining accuracy and security. These systems employ features like double data entry, coding standards, and metadata repositories to organize data for regulatory submissions and clinical research.
