eCaseLink Designer

eCaseLink Designer is a software platform for creating and managing electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) used in clinical trial research. It is designed for contract research organizations (CROs) and pharmaceutical sponsors who need to collect structured patient data across clinical trial studies. The platform is built on an established electronic data capture (EDC) foundation and requires no prior database programming or HTML coding knowledge.

DSG also offers eCaseLink Designer under a technology transfer licensing model, where DSG professionals with clinical and data expertise support clients through each step of the transfer process and continue providing support and system upgrades after licensing is complete.

Core Capabilities

• Enables CROs and sponsors to design and deploy HTML-based eCRFs without coding skills, regardless of trial design complexity.
• Supports both Table Layout, which is automatically generated from specified data points, and Free Form Layout, which allows customization to match source documents.
• Allows mixing and matching of Table Layout and Free Form Layout eCRFs within the same study.
• Supports creation of reusable eCRF templates to reduce the cost of delivering studies for regulatory approval.
• Provides a library of pre-defined edits based on EDC experience to accelerate the design process.
• Supports industry standards including CDISC, CDASH, and ODM for automated library features.
• Allows a single Designer user to build an entire EDC study independently.

Rapid Workflow and Data Validation

• Uses proprietary technology to validate data field-by-field instantly, without connecting to a server or requiring client plug-ins.
• Instant field-level validation reduces the number of form submissions required and limits the volume of bad data that must be queried after submission.
• Each saved page contains clean data, providing control over data quality from start to finish.

Study Design and Workflow Control

• Gives CROs and sponsors direct control over the study design workflow to support streamlined clinical trial execution.
• Offers design flexibility to accommodate varying trial structures and user working styles.
• DSG provides support services and hands-on training to assist users in building studies end-to-end.

eCaseLink Designer is positioned for organizations seeking to manage eCRF development in-house, with DSG providing ongoing technical support, system upgrades, and training throughout the product lifecycle.
