EDC for oncology clinical trials, from dose escalation to data lock

Oncology trials live or die on safety data quality and dosing accuracy. Capture gives you AE and SAE forms, BSA-based dose calculations, and randomization for blinded arms, all in one audit trail, so a small oncology team can run the same rigor as a large one.

  • AE/SAE and AESI templates
  • BSA dosing calculators
  • Blinded randomization

Dosing accuracy

BSA-based dose calculations, read-only during entry

Oncology dosing frequently depends on body surface area. Turn any field into a calculated one, map it to the height and weight questions already on the form, and the value fills itself in automatically, so a transcription error cannot change what a patient is dosed.

  • BSA calculated by Mosteller or Du Bois, alongside BMI and other derived values.
  • Calculated fields are read-only during entry and shown next to their inputs.
  • Edit checks flag an out-of-range height, weight or lab value before it reaches a dosing decision.

Safety reporting

AE, SAE and AESI forms built for how oncology safety data actually moves

Pre-built templates for adverse events, serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest sit alongside your other case report forms, sharing the same audit trail. A safety signal is visible the moment a site enters it, not weeks later at a data lock.

  • Standard AE, SAE, AESI and concomitant medication templates in the library.
  • Field-level audit trail: who entered it, when, and any change since.
  • Export safety data by site or date range for a DSMB review or interim analysis.

Blinded arms

Randomization that keeps the blind, and an audit trail that survives an unblinding

Many oncology designs randomize to arm or dose cohort while keeping site staff blinded. Capture’s randomization module supports blinded views by role, so a site coordinator sees what they need without seeing the allocation.

  • Role-based access controls who can see allocation data.
  • Randomization events are logged in the same audit trail as everything else.

What oncology teams ask before they commit

Cost

Every plan, including the free sandbox, includes edit checks, calculated fields and the audit trail.

Compliance

21 CFR Part 11-aligned controls throughout; documentation available on Enterprise to support your own validation.

Setup time

AI drafts your visit schedule and forms from a protocol; most teams have a working build the same day.

Migration

Bring an existing study or a prior protocol’s forms across as a starting template.

Support

Email support, typically under 24 hours, plus documentation for your own assessment on Enterprise.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they switch

Something not covered here? Ask us directly.

Does Capture support dose-escalation cohort designs?

Yes. Build a study arm or cohort structure in the study builder and use randomization to allocate patients within it, with role-based views that keep the blind where your design requires it.

Can Capture calculate BSA for dosing?

Yes. BSA (Mosteller and Du Bois), along with BMI and other derived values, can be set up as a calculated field that fills in automatically and read-only from the height and weight already entered.

Does Capture have AE, SAE and AESI forms?

Yes. Adverse event, serious adverse event, adverse event of special interest and concomitant medication templates are in the template library, alongside demographics, vitals and lab forms.

Can we export safety data for a DSMB review?

Yes. Export by site or date range with an automatic data dictionary, so your safety or biostatistics team can prepare a review without manually assembling data from separate files.

Is Capture suitable for a small oncology trial without a large safety team?

Yes. The built-in edit checks and auto-queries catch out-of-range values as they are entered, which reduces how much a small team needs to review manually after the fact.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing to start. The free sandbox has no credit card and no time limit. You pay only once you go live with real participant data.
