Study-specific forms
Map the protocol to CRFs, visits and validation checks so that teams collect data in the context of the study.
diCELLa eCRF · Electronic data capture for clinical trials
Clinical trial data, from the first form to database lock.
diCELLa eCRF is a web-based electronic case report form system for sponsors, CROs and research sites. It supports study-specific forms, patient visits, data entry, source data verification (SDV), queries and audit history.
What eCRF supports
Capabilities in daily study work.
Patient and visit tracking
Work with patient lists, screening identifiers, patient cards and visit progress across participating sites.
Source data verification
Review completed fields and monitor acceptance, with discussions linked to the visit under review.
Queries and validation
Use validation checks and query handling to identify missing or inconsistent entries and follow up with the responsible team.
Study progress reporting
Review progress by patient, visit, section and site to focus monitoring and data management work.
Access and audit history
Use role-based access and a traceable history of data changes and review activity.
People and responsibilities
Who uses eCRF?
Sponsors and CROs
Oversee study progress, site activity and the data review process.
Investigators and site teams
Enter patient data and follow scheduled visits, checks and queries.
Data managers and monitors
Review data, perform SDV and coordinate query resolution.
From requirements to rollout
Plan your eCRF implementation.
Use these steps to agree the project scope with the diCELLa team. Timing and deliverables depend on your study and the services selected.
Map the protocol
Define visits, forms, data checks, roles and the study workflow.
Review the configuration
Walk through a study demo with representative forms and patient visit scenarios.
Test and prepare users
Agree validation and user acceptance testing (UAT) responsibilities, review the evidence and plan training.
Agree production readiness
Confirm approvals, support, hosting and the release schedule before recruitment begins.
Define your connected study
Integrations, reports and exports.
Connections within diCELLa
Discuss eTMF for trial documents, CTMS for study operations, IWRS for randomization and supply workflows, and patient diary requirements when defining the study scope. Confirm which modules and data flows are included in your proposal.
Data and document handover
The eCRF quotation can include interim data exports for data cleaning, final data export after database lock, and archival preparation. Specify the required formats, contents, delivery schedule and responsibilities in the study scope.
A proposal based on your study
What shapes your eCRF quotation?
An eCRF quotation starts with the study design and expected use: sites and countries, patients, users, languages, visits and study duration. Additional modules, training, hosting and support, medical coding, data review and export services also need to be scoped.
Before you choose
eCRF questions, answered.
What is diCELLa eCRF used for?
diCELLa eCRF is used to configure electronic case report forms, capture clinical trial data, track patient visits, review entries and manage queries. Sponsors, CROs, sites, data managers and monitors use it within their assigned roles.
How do eCRF and CTMS differ?
eCRF focuses on clinical data capture and review. CTMS focuses on the operational coordination of studies, sites, patients, visits and monitoring. A study may need both, with the connection defined during scoping.
What does an eCRF demonstration cover?
A study-specific demo can show protocol-to-form mapping, a patient visit, validation checks and the review and query process. Share the protocol and priority scenarios so the team can agree the demo scope and timing.
How long does implementation take?
Timing depends on protocol complexity, forms, checks, modules and review cycles. Agree a schedule after scoping. A demonstration is a separate milestone from validation, UAT and approval for production use.
Can data be exported during and after the study?
Interim export, final export after database lock and archival preparation are options in the eCRF quotation. Agree formats, data coverage, frequency and service responsibilities before contracting.
