Abstract

The purpose of this study is to empirically examine how much the electronic clinical trial data management system actually enhances its efficiency. While the development of clinical trial markets highlights the significance of data management with increasing rate of adoption of electronic systems, its effects have not been fully supported with rigorous evidences. Particularly, the adoption rate of electronic clinical trial systems is low in domestic clinical trials markets. This study attempts to analyze the effect of the systems for reminding the importance of e-data management in clinical trials. The measurement indicator is experimented with the time related data collected from a multi-center clinical trial case. The result showed that the speed of the electronic clinical trial processes can be improved. The implication of this study lies in its first attempt to empirically analyze the effect of electronic clinical data management systems. Furthermore, application of the indicator in conjunction with electronic clinical trial processes is expected to facilitate strategic data management.

본 연구의 목적은 전자적 임상시험 데이터 관리를 위한 설계 시 시간적 요인에 주목하여 시스템의 효율성을 검증해 보고자 함이다. 임상시험 데이터 관리에 대한 관심이 커지고 있고 시스템 도입이 활발한 데 반해, 실제 효율성 측정에 관한 실증연구는 많지 않다. 특히 국내의 경우 임상시험 데이터 관리를 위한 전산화 도입률 조차 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구는 전자적 임상시험 데이터 관리에 대한 중요성 인식 확산을 위하여 전자적 시스템의 효과에 대한 실증연구를 시도하였으며, 시간효율성 측정지표를 활용하여 다기관 임상시험 사례의 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과로서 전자적 시스템으로의 전환이 임상시험 전체 프로세스에 제공할 수 있는 시간 측면에서의 효율성을 검증하였으며 전자적 임상시험 데이터 관리 시스템의 활용 효과를 분석하기 위한 국내 첫 실증연구의 시도라는 의미가 있다. 나아가 전략적 데이터 관리 수립 및 임상단계 별 비교연구 등 향후 다양한 비교 연구들의 초석이 될 것이다.
