USE CASE 3 — PHARMA / CRO-SPONSORED TRIALS

Pharma & CRO-sponsored trials

Compliance in mind. Research in focus.

Sponsored trials require robust data management, controlled sponsor access and documentation that supports regulatory requirements. crf.one brings together 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, established export formats and sponsor reporting views within a single platform.

Key benefits

21 CFR Part 11 compliance · Role-based sponsor access · SAS & CSV export · IQ/OQ/PQ documentation · Multi-country deployment

USE CASE 4 — DECENTRALISED TRIALS (DCT)

Decentralised clinical trials

Meet patients where they are.

Decentralised and hybrid trials require flexible tools that support participation beyond the traditional site setting. crf.one’s mobile app and PRO module enable patients to report outcomes remotely, while site teams can enter and review study data from anywhere — including in low-connectivity environments with offline capability.

Key benefits

Mobile data collection · Patient-reported outcomes · Offline data capture and synchronisation · Remote data review · Biometric authentication

Relevant modules

Mobile App · Patient-Reported Outcomes · Monitoring · eCRF Builder

USE CASE 5 — REGISTRY & REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE

Registries & real-world evidence

Long-term data. Lasting insight.

Registries and real-world evidence studies often span months or years, requiring consistent data collection across diverse patient populations. crf.one’s flexible form design and longitudinal reporting support structured data capture across visits and throughout the study lifecycle.

Key benefits

Longitudinal data capture · Flexible visit schedules · Scalable patient enrolment · Longitudinal reporting · GDPR-aligned data management

Relevant modules

USE CASE 6 — HOSPITAL / ROUTINE CARE DATA

Hospital & routine care data

Structured data. Across care and research.

Hospitals and care teams use crf.one to capture structured clinical data beyond traditional research settings. The platform supports quality improvement initiatives, real-world evidence generation and the digitisation of routine care workflows while helping to avoid double data entry.

Key benefits

Routine care data capture · GDPR-aligned data management · Integration-ready · Avoid repeated data entry
