Clinical trial software for regulatory affairs teams

Regulatory teams need study data systems that support submissions, amendments, safety reporting and inspections without a scramble. Capture produces the documents you need and records the evidence regulators ask for.

  • Blank eCRF PDF for submissions
  • Controlled amendments
  • SAE timelines and E2B export

What regulatory teams need

  • Submission documents: a blank eCRF showing every form, and a clear description of data collection for ethics committees and authorities.
  • Controlled amendments: form changes that are deliberate, approved and traceable, aligned with approved protocol versions.
  • Safety reporting: serious events tracked from site awareness, with investigator sign-off and exports for safety databases.
  • Inspection readiness: audit trails, signatures and access records that can be retrieved quickly.
  • Data protection answers: hosting region, encryption and access controls for each country in the study.

Submissions

Documents that match the build

Ethics committees and some authorities ask to see the case report forms and participant-facing materials. Capture exports a blank eCRF PDF with a cover page, form index, visit-by-form matrix and every approved form, and a blank ePRO PDF showing each questionnaire as it appears on a phone, with answer options, skip logic and schedule. Because they come from the live configuration, they match what sites and participants will actually see.

For trials under the EU Clinical Trials Regulation, the application goes through CTIS; in the US, IND submissions and IRB review follow their own processes. See the IRB submission checklist and EU CTR clinical trial software.

Amendments

Forms move from draft to approved, approved forms are locked for live use, and changes are recorded in the audit trail. Plan form changes alongside protocol amendments so that new versions go live only after the amendment is approved.

Safety reporting

SAE timelines from site awareness

A serious event raises a routed safety alert straight away. Capture tracks the SAE timeline from site awareness, collects the site attestation and investigator sign-off, and records who acknowledged the alert. Safety listings and E2B export support reporting to safety databases and authorities.

Inspections

Answering inspectors quickly

Inspectors ask practical questions: show me who entered this value, when it was changed and why; show me the signed consent for this participant; show me who had access to the unblinded data. The faster those questions are answered, the smoother the inspection. A field-level audit trail with readable descriptions, filters by participant and date, and exports on demand make the difference.

Prepare by running a retrieval drill before the inspection: pick participants at random and pull their consent, eligibility, key efficacy data and safety data with the audit trail. See the FDA inspection checklist.

Transparency

Registration and results reporting

Most trials must be registered in a public registry before enrolment, and many must post summary results within set timelines, for example on ClinicalTrials.gov for applicable US trials and through CTIS for trials under the EU regulation. Medical journals also require registration before publication.

Results reporting draws on the same data as the clinical study report: participant flow, baseline characteristics, outcome measures and adverse events. Clean exports with a data dictionary make those tables faster to produce. Plan who owns registration and results reporting from the start of the study.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they switch

Something not covered here? Ask us directly.

Must trials be registered?

Most must be registered in a public registry before enrolment, and many must post summary results.

Do exports help with results reporting?

Yes. Exports with a data dictionary support participant flow, baseline and outcome tables.

Can Capture export a blank eCRF for submissions?

Yes. The blank eCRF PDF includes a cover page, form index, visit-by-form matrix and every approved form.

How are form amendments controlled?

Forms move from draft to approved, approved forms are locked for live use, and changes are recorded in the audit trail.

Does Capture support safety reporting?

Yes. SAE timelines are tracked from site awareness with investigator sign-off, and safety listings and E2B export are available.

Where is data hosted?

In the EU (Frankfurt) or the US (N. Virginia), chosen at study setup.

Can records be retrieved for an inspection?

Yes. The audit trail can be filtered by participant and date and exported, along with signed consent PDFs.

Can I try it free?

Yes, in the free sandbox with every feature.
