Data room for clinical trials
Short answerTrial sponsors, CROs, sites and partners share protocols, ethics approvals and regulatory submissions. A data room gives each party controlled access and a record, separate from systems that hold patient data.
How it works in Singapore
Singapore runs many early-phase and regional trials, with public hospitals and research institutes as sites. Partners and investors also review trial documents.
