[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]The CTMS Program Office is responsible for the implementation and ongoing operation of the CTMS and maintains neutrality across partner institutions. The CTMS Program Office aims to empower study teams to advance clinical research and enable administrators to gain insight on research data through collaboration across our institutions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

What is a Clinical Trial Management System?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]A Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) is an enterprise software system used to manage and track clinical research activities within an institution. This CTMS (OnCore) serves as a single, centralized, web-based resource used to manage clinical research conducted within or across Fred Hutch Cancer Center and University of Washington.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Features<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]OnCore CTMS provides an extensive range of functionality that will strengthen the conduct of both oncology and non-oncology clinical trials:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1\/2″]<\/i><\/span>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Clinical Research Management<\/span><\/h4>\n

OnCore serves as a centralized resource for study teams, central offices and clinic teams performing the day-to-day activities required during the conduct of clinical research. The system is used to manage study start-up and amendment activities, track regulatory approvals, provide access to study documents, track subject activities and manage study financials and billing compliance.<\/p>\n
