Medable beats forecasted FPI date by taking eCOA off the critical path
A top-10 global pharmaceutical company came to Medable looking to standardize and scale their weight management trials. The trial was driven by a master protocol with multiple sub-studies across 70+ research sites.
The partner was concerned about the participant and site experience, particularly participant enrollment and study startup timelines, as the trial required participants to enroll through the master protocol before enrolling into a sub-study.
Read ahead to see how Medable accomplished this, beat the forecasted FPI date, and more.

Taking eCOA technology deployment off the critical path
Within the context of clinical trials, the "critical path" refers to the sequence of activities, tasks, or events that, if delayed or extended, would directly impact the overall timeline for the trial.
These essential steps and dependencies must be completed in a specific order to ensure the trial stays on schedule. Any delay in the critical path can potentially lead to a delay in the entire trial, affecting its completion date and potentially increasing costs. Identifying and managing the critical path is crucial for efficient trial management and timely delivery of treatments to patients.
For a simpler example, take a look at how Monday.com describes the critical path within the context of building a house and their visual aid in Exhibit 2. “For example, if you’re building a house, the critical path might include digging the foundations, building the walls, and installing the roof. If any of these critical activities fall behind schedule the whole project gets delayed.”
