Services
we offer
CTSdatabase is implemented at the site level where it is used to detect duplicate subjects during pre-screening, as well as on the study level, where it is performed alongside screening procedures. We also integrate directly with IRT as a single-step check for your subject’s eligibility.

The winner of the DOTM for June is Brad Littlejohn, CRC from Clinical Neuroscience Solutions!
“Our site in Orlando, FL had a 54 year old male subject that presented for a depression study and we had some familiarity with him. The subject denied any history of any psychiatric diagnosis or treatment other than depression and we were aware that he had participated in clinical trials in the past. However, we were totally shocked when after registering the subject in CTSdatabase, we received multiple alerts about the subject having participated in a Schizophrenia trial at site in Philadelphia, PA six years prior. The subject denied this of course, but the match was accurate.
It just goes to show that you really never know and highlights the importance of a clinical trials database like CTS.”
