EDC End-To-End Technical Challenges in Oncology Trials
From eCRF set-up to submission and archival Particularities and Future Developments
September 16th, Sheraton Airport Hotel, September 17th, Sheraton Airport Hotel,
Duesseldorf Airport, Germany Duesseldorf Airport, Germany

In recent years, using EDC systems rather than paper-based data collection
systems has become more and more common. "The life cycle of data management
hasn`t changed, yet the ways of collecting data have." Explained Dr. Claus
Lindenau, Head of Business Development at XClinical. "Data standards have gained
importance, as have the software solutions to permit an End-To-End process
within the eClinical workflow." To take up those developments, the "End-To-End"
workshop will contain a theoretical introduction to the EDC process and the
related data standards (CDISC). This will be followed by live demonstrations
which illustrate the End-To-End process from eCRF set-up to Data Collection and
Data Cleaning and finally to Data Submission and Archiving.

The workshop "Technical Challenges in Oncology Trials" will give an introduction
to the topic of Oncology Trials and will deal with the technical challenges
associated with them. Future prospects and a discussion session will also be
provided.

This topic is a reaction to current developments. According to the WHO, cancer
of various types will be the most common cause of death worldwide by 2010. As a
result, Oncology Trials are gaining more and more importance. "Oncology Trials
face many challenges." Said Dr. Lindenau. "Not only in terms of Study design but
also regarding technical aspects by means of capturing an combining data from
interdisciplinary parties and different data sources."
