Simplifying the complex

Built on decades of experience and designed by the most experienced project teams in the industry, Calyx IRT simplifies the complications involved with RTSM. From simple blocked and stratified designs to more complex adaptive trial designs, Calyx IRT delivers advanced randomization and trial management suitable for all trials.

Adaptable functionality

A 4,500+ trial-tested system, Calyx IRT uses automated workflows, self-service tools, and reporting to meet the unique needs of each trial and each system user. Take advantage of flexible, robust medication management algorithms, simplified study and site management, and protocol-tailored patient management, including Direct-to-Patient shipments with Calyx IRT.

Seamless Integrations

By integrating Calyx IRT with other eClinical systems, sponsors boost productivity and improve data quality, reducing the need for data duplication and reconciliation at the end of the trial. Calyx enables everything from simple IRT-to-EDC integrations to more complex, blinded central lab integrations and electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) scoring.

Accelerated study start-up

Need to start a trial quickly? By taking advantage of pre-defined standards, Calyx can deliver a reliable IRT system for User Acceptance Testing only 4 weeks after specification sign-off. Calyx’s experienced team will recommend the optimal IRT design for you based on their wealth of experience building and supporting trials.

Improve data quality

Calyx IRT minimizes data errors through real-time data entry validation, reduces the need for data duplication through flexible integrations, and reduces ambiguity during data capture by guiding sites on how and when to enter patient data in alignment with the protocol. And Calyx IRT is configured to reduce the risk of unblinding, randomization imbalance, or mis-dispensing, resulting in increased protocol compliance and high data quality.

Reduce drug wastage

With advanced inventory management algorithms that automatically direct supply to recruiting sites’ needs, and specific trial- and program-level waste reduction strategies, Calyx IRT can help balance the costs of drug production and shipment, reducing the amount of drug wasted during clinical trials and minimizing your organization’s carbon footprint.

Enhanced Self-service Tools

Calyx IRT puts the power back into the hands of trial sponsors and system users, with access to real-time data and the ability to make immediate changes as needed. This includes everything from simple changes such as an investigator correcting a patient’s date of birth, closing screening, or increasing enrolment caps at any level to the complex, such as immediately adding new doses for new cohorts of patients, adding new countries to accelerate recruitment, or closing treatment arms following a safety review.

Advanced Inventory Management Algorithms:

Automated Supply Strategy Management takes the burden of monitoring site stock away from the clinical supply manager by automatically adapting the amount of medication shipped to sites based on the number of patients in screening.  As a result, patients at recruiting sites are assured drug supply, while drug wastage and the risk of failed visits are reduced.

Medication Pooling reduces drug wastage and addresses drug availability concerns by sharing medication across different protocols in a single program. Calyx IRT controls the sharing of medication across protocols and facilitates just-in-time labeling, drawing on a wealth of experience supporting a range of different sponsor pooling methods and labeling plans.

Randomization Prediction When randomization codes are dedicated to the site, Calyx IRT can reduce drug wastage by sending IMP to each site specific to upcoming treatment group assignments.

Task Manager

Calyx IRT task manager functionality improves efficiencies by presenting a summary of patient visits that, according to the protocol, need to be registered within the next 24 hours and enables site personnel to quickly see which visits are due in the coming week/s. By elevating this important information, Calyx IRT Task Manager saves valuable time for busy site personnel and makes it easier for them to meet protocol requirements.
