For CROs

Run More Studies. With the Same Team.

Trialhelix removes the configuration backlog that keeps your CDMs from operating at full capacity. Less time on EDC builds — more time on data quality and sponsor relationships.

The Problem

Where CRO Capacity Disappears

Phase I and II CROs lose billable hours to the same three operational bottlenecks. Trialhelix is designed to eliminate all three.

Manual EDC Configuration

Each new study requires CDMs to rebuild eCRF forms, visit schedules, edit checks, and derivation rules from scratch — even when 80% of the structure matches a prior study. This costs 3–5 weeks per study.

Query Cycle Overhead

Manual review processes generate redundant queries — the same data item queried multiple times, or queries on values that a properly configured edit check would catch at point of entry. Every extra query cycle adds 2–3 days to the loop.

SDTM Mapping at Data Lock

CDISC SDTM variable mapping is often started late — after the study is already collecting data — because CDMs are busy with EDC support. Late mapping creates a crunch at data lock that delays TLF delivery and FDA submission timelines.

The Solution

How Trialhelix Fits Into Your CRO Operations

Trialhelix connects to your protocol documentation and DMP at study setup. It generates the EDC configuration — eCRF forms, visit schedule, edit check logic — as a structured output that your team reviews and approves before deployment. You are not delegating the decision; you are eliminating the manual assembly.

  • Protocol ingestion from DMP template or direct upload
  • eCRF form generation with CRF completion guidelines pre-populated
  • Edit check rule library — 300+ validated checks aligned to CDISC recommendations
  • SDTM domain mapping initiated at study build, not at data lock
  • Audit trail from first configuration action to final database lock
Use Cases

Where CROs See the Fastest Returns

Phase I Oncology FIH Studies

First-in-human dose escalation studies with adaptive design elements. Trialhelix handles the IWRS randomization configuration and MedDRA-coded adverse event capture so CDMs focus on safety data review.

Study Build workflow

Phase II Efficacy with PK/PD Endpoints

Studies with complex sampling schedules and derived endpoints need SDTM ADaM datasets that align with statistical analysis plans. Trialhelix auto-generates the PP and ADPP domain structures from your SAP.

Data Management module

Repeat-Indication Rollouts

CROs running 3–5 similar studies per year in the same indication can use Trialhelix study templates to reduce per-study configuration time by up to 70% on the second and third builds.

Late-Phase Inspection Readiness

For CROs supporting NDA submissions, the Trialhelix audit trail and SDTM validation report provide inspection-ready documentation in standard formats — not custom exports that require interpretation.

What CRO Teams Say

"We used to spend the first three weeks of a new study in EDC build mode. With Trialhelix, we spend three days reviewing and approving a configuration our team didn't have to build from scratch. The time goes somewhere productive now."

L. Morris

Senior CDM, Phase I/II CRO, Boston

"The SDTM mapping runs as a parallel track from day one — not a scramble at the end. When we went to data lock, the Pinnacle 21 report was clean on the first run. That has never happened before on a new EDC system."

J. Chen

Data Manager, Rare Disease CRO, San Francisco
