Case Studies
Real-world clinical trials powered by the Wide Angle Insights platform
Case Study: COVID-19 India Study
- ~ 6,000 subjects across 40 sites.
- First & till-date largest COVID-19 clinical trial in India.
Overview
In the light of the fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic, one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world believed that a prophylactic vaccine currently under development for another indication could possibly offer protection to high-risk groups. The need was to start the trial as soon as possible to ensure early availability.
Challenges
- Set-up and activation of clinical trial systems i.e. eCRF, ePRO / eCOA, pharmacovigilance & IWRS could take a minimum of 8 to 10 weeks.
- Considering the highly infectious nature of the disease, face-to-face consenting and paper Informed Consent Forms & Subject Diaries would be risky.
- It was necessary to minimize in-person follow-up hospital visits without compromising on the frequency and volume of data collected.
| Solution | Outcome |
|---|---|
| The need for a quickly configurable integrated platform was met by Wide-Angle-Insights, with its modular architecture, inbuilt intuitive algorithms and artificial intelligence. | All the integrated modules i.e. eConsent, eCRF, ePRO / eCOA, IWRS, pharmacovigilance & medical review were activated in record time, enabling initiation of subject recruitment within 3 weeks of protocol finalization. This is inclusive of time required for team training. |
| Mobile app with eConsent in multiple languages. | This ensured that the consent was provided electronically in the preferred language without the need for paper exchange. |
| ePRO / eCOA within the mobile app. | Drastically reduced the number of site visits by subjects. |
| Data completion prompts and notifications in the mobile app. | Ensured timely data capture. |
| Integrated pharmacovigilance database – Single Source of Truth +. | Sites needed to enter SAE data only once, thus reducing data entry effort and necessity of reconciliation. |
| Integrated medical review platform. | Facilitated real time safety data review and enabled timely signal detection, adjudication, correlation, resolution and management. |
| Inbuilt Risk Engine that facilitates real-time Risk Management. | Enhanced oversight and implementation of mitigation strategies. |
| Customizable, real-time updated dashboards and reports. | Efficient project management and timely course correction. |
Case Study: COVID-19 Australia Study
- ~ 3,500 subjects across 10 sites.
- Largest Australia-only COVID-19 clinical trial till date.
Overview
In the light of the fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic, one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world believed that a prophylactic vaccine currently under development for another indication could possibly offer protection to high-risk groups. The need was to start the trial as soon as possible to ensure early availability.
Challenges
- Set-up and activation of clinical trial systems, i.e. eCRF, ePRO / eCOA, pharmacovigilance & IWRS would take a minimum of 8 to 10 weeks.
- It was necessary to minimize in-person follow-up hospital visits without compromising on the frequency and volume of data collected.
- Involvement of multiple stakeholders – Sponsor, Australia-based CRO for local Clinical Operations and Data Services CRO – could lead to duplication of effort.

Case Study: Large Field-based Study in Africa
- 5 Countries in Africa.
- ~ 7,000 subjects across 11 sites.
Overview
A pivotal Phase III clinical trial for a promising anti-TB vaccine. The project involves a diverse spectrum of stakeholders – Funding Agency, Sponsor, Local NGO, CRO, sites and multiple analytical laboratories.
Challenges
- Field-based study – remote locations of sites and low internet connectivity.
- Country to country & site to site variations in source data capture practices could lead to incoherent monitoring and data inconsistencies.
- Multiple stakeholders – possibility of duplication of effort and communication gaps.
| Solution | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Use of customized eSource integrated with eCRF. | Standardized source data capture. |
| Improvisation to use IWRS, eSource and eCRF in a fully-integrated unique, first in industry 'offline' mode. | Enablement of randomization, source data capture & eCRF completion even at locations with no / low internet connectivity. Increased subject recruitment speed and timely data capture. |
| Collaborative environment of the Wide-Angle-Insights platform with automated event histories. | Seamless study conduct, smooth communication between stakeholders and complete transparency. |
| Integrated pharmacovigilance database. | Sites need to enter SAE data only once, thus reducing data entry effort and necessity of reconciliation. |
| Integrated medical review platform. | Real-time safety data review & timely signal detection, adjudication, correlation, resolution & management. |
| Inbuilt Risk Engine that facilitates real-time Risk Management. | Enhanced oversight and implementation of mitigation strategies. |
| Customizable, real-time updated dashboards and reports. | Efficient project management and timely course correction. |
