The Challenge
The pharma company was replacing its 20-year-old clinical trial management system with a modern cloud-based platform. The new system needed to handle data from 150 trial sites across 40 countries while maintaining strict FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and EU Annex 11 requirements.
Our Solution
Our 45-member validation team executed a comprehensive CSV (Computer System Validation) program including IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, data migration validation for 12M+ patient records, and end-to-end workflow testing covering EDC, randomization, and drug supply management. We developed automated compliance test suites that could be re-executed for each regulatory submission.
Clinical trial data management is one of the most heavily regulated domains in technology. Every data point can impact patient safety and drug approval decisions, making system validation absolutely critical.
Our validation approach followed GAMP 5 risk-based methodology, focusing testing efforts on the highest-risk functionality. We developed a traceability matrix linking every user requirement to test cases, ensuring complete coverage.
Data migration was particularly challenging, requiring transformation of legacy formats while preserving audit trails and electronic signatures. Our validation protocol included character-level comparison of source and target data for critical fields.
The automated compliance suite we developed became a cornerstone of the client’s ongoing regulatory strategy, enabling rapid re-validation for system updates and new regulatory submissions.
