secuTrial

secuTrial® is a fully browser-based, GCP-compliant Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system developed for collecting patient data via eCRFs in clinical trials, non-interventional studies, and patient registries. The platform has been in use since the year 2000 and has been deployed in more than 600 national and international studies and long-term projects. It serves a broad range of organisations including university institutions, contract research organisations (CROs), medical device manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies.

The system is designed to allow study setup and eCRF creation without programming knowledge, relying on an intuitive user interface that requires only a browser and internet connection for both administrators and investigators. secuTrial® supports pseudonymised image management (including DICOM format), standardised import and export interfaces such as CDISC data models, and is fully FDA-compliant. The company offers differentiated licensing models, optional hosting, and CRO full-service support.
