PDA (Protocol Design Area)
Protocols for clinical trial are designed in this area.
Through the scientific network of Exem Consulting, THE BREIN, if requested by the client,
enables to design and arrange the protocols for clinical trials and data registers.
CRFDA (CRF Design Area)
This area is dedicated to the design and production of CRF.
CRF (Case Report Form) represents an indispensable instrument for the registration of
clinical cases, in view of what is defined in the protocol of the clinical trial.
The CRFD Area enables the development of CRF, through experts and consultants of
Consulting.
CDSA (Collection Data System Area)
This area is dedicated to computerisation of CRF.
THE BREIN is an environment where is possible to:
a) Create a network among the researchers engaged in the clinical trial
b) Fill in the CFRs on line
c) Gather the data automatically
d) Process the results
In view of the CRFs supplied by the client or developed together with the experts of Exem
Consulting, a system aimed at collecting observational data will be designed and
developed.
The design and the realisation will be carried out by a team of IT experts and personnel
competent in clinical protocols.
EDA (Extrapolation Data Area)
In the Extrapolation Data Area, BREIN will provide researchers with data necessary for the
analysis of the study.
All the data will be extracted automatically.
ADA (Analysis Data Area)
If requested by the client, thorough the scientific network of Exem consulting, THE BREIN
is able: to produce a statistical analysis of the collected data and to assist the client in the
publication and data dissemination process
