Screening

Configure ALEA’s Screening and Enrollment Application to suit your trial. Generate screening numbers or have site staff enter their own. The ALEA Screening and Enrollment Application is complete and ready to use. And, you can instantly add extra fields and edit checks based on your trials’s requirement.

Randomization

The randomization service includes flexible form definition, unlimited stratification factors, unlimited number of treatments, blocked randomization, minimization, unequal allocation schemes, multi step randomisations, a simulation service which produces a comprehensive validation report, and more. It allows for re-use of components at the level of questions, forms and complete studies.

Supply Management

The Drugs Supply Management supports both simple and complex drug distributions schemes. It includes per site resupply trigger levels and sizes, per site initial shipment sizes, upload of concealment lists, generating concealments lists, predictive drug supply trough pDSM algorythms with deltaS deltaT site accrual prediction.

Electronic Data Capture

eCRF

The eCRF turnkey solution is based on ALEA™ which provides a comprehensive, rich electronic case report forms system supporting the use of electronic case report forms by the study sites as well as study coordination centers for healthcare trials. It can be used with a standard browser (IE7 up, FireFox, Chrome running on any computer connected to the internet).

ePRO

Patient self-reported data are increasingly playing a key part in efficacy and quality of life assessment, patient recruitment, symptom and safety information and medical compliance monitoring. Unlike laboratory tests and other physical assessments that require interpretation from a secondary source such as a clinician, PROs are measures that come directly from patients. Evidence shows that higher compliance can be achieved if data is collected by electronic means rather than paper. Higher compliance with ePRO is directly related to special features that electronic technologies provide, such as reminders for patients to complete diary entries and mechanisms to facilitate data completion.

Scan Integration [new]

ALEA eCRF includes an integrated solution for incorporating imaging objects such as CT, PACS, and MRI scans into the clinical trial patient dossiers. This DICOM image viewer can be used in many different scenarios, for instance when a panel of surgeons evaluates whether a patient suffering a liver tumor os operable or not. ALEA provides an advanced notification system where for instance research nurses are notified to upload new images, or surgeons are reminded that they are requested to perform an evaluation including a link to the appropriate form to be completed.

Digital Microscophy [new]

The next stage of integration is digital microscopy imaging used in pathology. Digital microscopy produces large binary objects – varying from 100MB to over 10GB in size – which are transmitted from the clinical site participating in the clinical research to a central repository.

ALEA randomisation methods

ALEA randomsiation supports the following methods of randomisation for healthcare trials. It supports trials with any number of treatment groups, and randomisation ratios other than 1:1.

Minimisation
Block randomisation
Random block randomisation
Simple randomisation

* Blinding
If participants in the trial are not to know which treatment they will receive, ALEA Randomisation can convert the treatment allocated into a box number or code, and returns this rather than the treatment. ALEA Randomisation helps the user to prepare these numbers or codes, so that the trial material can be prepared in advance.

The most powerful tool to reduce overhead in clinical trials
