It’s not often that two clinical data managers who are years apart in their experience feel equally at ease during a clinical trial. But this is precisely what took place at Ancillarie, a support services company that has been serving pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies since 2012. In 2013, seeking an electronic data capture (EDC) system to catalyze their clinical research, they began a collaborative relationship with Medrio. Since then, they have conducted three clinical trials using Medrio’s software – all dermatology studies.
