Clinical trial management system
First Claim
1. A clinical trial management system comprising:
- a main database of information concerning prior clinical trials and resources available to conduct future clinical trials, the information concerning prior clinical trials being at least in part in the form of a protocol of (a) scheduled visits of a test subject to a treatment site, (b) measurement of prescribed physical attributes of the subject during the visits and (c) administration of at least one prescribed medical product to the subject during the visit to determine over time the subject'"'"'s response thereto, the protocol of a prior clinical trial being stored in said main database in the form of a software template;
a main processor controlling access to said main database; and
at least one user processor in communication with said main processor to negotiate access to said main database, said user processor and main processor running a program that designs and tracks at said user processor of a clinical trial through access by said user processor to at least one software template in said main database and modification of the template for formulating a new clinical trial.

Abstract
A system for designing and monitoring clinical trials includes a main database of information concerning prior clinical trials and resources available to conduct future clinical trials. In part information in the main database is obtained through data links to other databases in the enterprise, e.g., human resources and finance databases. Some of the information in the main database concerns prior clinical trials and is, in part, in the form of protocols of (a) scheduled visits of a test subject to a treatment site, (b) measurement of prescribed physical attributes of the subject during the visits and (c) administration of at least one prescribed medical product to the subject during the visit to determine over time the subject'"'"'s response thereto. The protocols of prior clinical trial are stored in the main database in the form of a software template.
