A CTMS is a software for the management of clinical research. Its acronym stands for Clinical Trial Management Systems, and its very name is an invitation to understand its functionality. It is a computer system that allows clinical trials to be managed mainly at the economic and administrative levels. It maintains and manages planning, execution and information functions, in addition to all the figures related to the project, such as the promoter, the CRO, etc.
Due to its architecture, this type of software is of great help when it comes to costs. Without this tool, it is easy to fail to measure the costs caused by delays and the lack of proper management. In the end, a CTMS is a project manager. It allows you to review the status of research, documentation (in order or behind schedule) and costs so far. This makes it possible to detect bottlenecks in the unit, as having all the information aggregated in one place makes it possible to take stock. Xolomon offers a reporting system with the most essential data that allows you to evaluate them without having to search for each piece of information separately, and to draw conclusions about the management of the investigation.

It is particularly useful as it also focuses on data of particular importance during clinical projects or trials. These include:
- Billing data
- Data from patient administration, such as recruitment or a follow-up of visits
- All types of documentation (contracts, financial report, amendments, etc.) and their statuses
- Drug dispensing control and monitoring
- Monitoring and financial management
In addition, it offers a complete agenda where you can generate deadlines and goals. The system is compatible with other systems, such as the registry
Sites that conduct few clinical trials tend to use more limited software. As trials grow, so do data volumes and complexity, motivating companies to look for a CTMS. Xolomon has been developing this system for more than 8 years, adapting to the specific needs of each client, and many have already trusted us to take their clinical trials to the next level. Among them are the QuironSalud group, Althaia and BarcelonaBeta, reference centres in their sector. Our CTMS stands out for being hosted in the cloud, in Microsoft Azure, and for being SaaS (software as a service), so there is no need to install new software or invest in servers.
In addition to this version for research centres, there is also a version from the point of view of promoters. This helps them, to the same extent, to keep track of hospital billing.
