In addition to real-time study data from PPD Laboratory services’ central lab, combined clinical and laboratory data can be accessed by project teams through Preclarus. This powerhouse combination gives teams and customers transparent, real-time access to all clinical trial operations and patient data, which can be viewed through interactive dashboards that provide insightful data visualizations.

Preclarus investigator site portal

Never lose a specimen again.

One of the most exciting tools available in the Preclarus investigator site portal is electronic requisitioning. This capability allows sites to requisition samples. The connection has been made between the sample/patient information and bar code, the data is immediately available to PPD Laboratory services. Electronic requisitioning strengthens the chain of custody by giving sponsors and our lab team full visibility to all samples in real time. When samples arrive at any central lab location, they are immediately recognizable and available for testing sooner.

The Preclarus investigator site portal also simplifies and streamlines sample shipping. The sample management tool ensures shipping carts are automatically created based on destination facility and required shipping conditions, facilitates consolidated shipments to control shipping costs, provides 24/7 shipment tracking, and enables you to maintain chain of custody.

The Preclarus investigator site portal provides clinical trial sites with the data and tools needed to manage their trials and patients.

With the companion mobile app, managing trials and patients is even easier. The mobile app delivers all the features of the desktop version to mobile devices so that busy investigators have real-time test results and study tools at their fingertips 24/7.

Other central lab data tools

The lab data portal enables access to study-wide data in real time, 24/7. A virtual biorepository provides visibility to specimen storage location, specimen chain of custody, on-demand sample history reporting and tracking of samples across customer, site and our locations.

The third party lab portal streamlines routine third party lab activities. It is interactive and it provides ease of use for 3PL for chain of custody and result updates.

The patient portal and app reduce patient burden and improve the clinical trial experience for patients/subjects, while reducing errors and improving specimen chain of custody. Preclarus dashboards deliver unprecedented reporting scope that exceeds functional-based study reporting and integrates data collected from three main areas — the laboratory, the operations team and the clinical trial site.
