... an online platform for secure collaboration in clinical trials
e.tract is a web-based online platform for secure collaboration of all partners in clinical trials. The system is developed by the companies Sacura and OrbiTeam - the inventors of the first cloud computing system*). e.tract is based on OrbiTeam's document management and collaboration platform BSCW. The software simplifies editing, sharing, tracking and archiving of study documents. The central domains of this platform consist of individually structured workspaces and an electronic Trial Master File - eTMF.
* The GMD (Fraunhofer FIT today) introduced the BSCW system in 1995 that would nowadays known as "the cloud".
Documents could be web-based uploaded into folders and shared with others. Since 1996 BSCW is offered commercially by the Fraunhofer spin-off OrbiTeam.
See Wikipedia Cloud Computing - Geschichte (German language).
e.tract provides working groups for all partners in a clinical trial including a set of predefined roles and functions. e.tract enables the members of the working groups to act according to their tasks and responsibilities.
Each user in e.tract can create and manage documents in an individual workspace. Furthermore the shared workspace of the working group enables close collaboration and communication. e.tract enables cooperative creation and editing of documents. Direct access to all the trial documents the user needs is also included in the workspace (SOPs, Protocol, Monitoring Plan, Site-specific documents, etc.). Users can always react according to the business needs.
The central eTMF of e.tract is based on the recommendations of the DIA, the current TMF Reference Model and OASIS standards. The eTMF provides a comprehensible filing structure for all documents to be archived in a clinical trial. The eTMF enables you to comply with the international standards for the handling of trial documents.
e.tract automatically generates an electronic site management section. In this area the members of each investigational Site and its supervising Monitor will find all site-specific and essential trial documents.
