5 ways cubeCDMS increases efficiency in EDC setup and protocol amendments

Building faster is not just a matter of time, it’s also a matter of efficiency.

Let’s face it, study start up timelines will always be tight, and protocols will keep changing during trial execution. The right Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system should be one that makes those demands more manageable, helping data managers build smarter, so they can do more in less time.

With features that promote reuse, manual work reduction and smart configuration, cubeCDMS is designed to bring long-term efficiency to both study setup and ongoing operations.

Here are five ways CRScube’s EDC enables efficient, flexible setup and management, delivering the quality, consistency, and adaptability data managers desperately need.

1. Get a head start with a curated eCRF library

With cubeCDMS, you don’t need to build your eCRFs from scratch. The platform includes a comprehensive eCRF library, curated over more than 5,000 studies to meet industry expectations and support best practices. These templates can be easily adapted to fit your protocol, giving you a consistent, validated starting point that reduces setup time and avoids repetitive design work. It’s a smarter way to build: not only faster, but more reliable and easier to maintain.

2. Reuse what works with a flexible copy feature

Efficiency thrives on reusability. cubeCDMS enables you to copy and paste full forms or individual CRF items across studies, allowing you to build on past work. Whether you’re managing a portfolio of related studies or simply replicating a common design pattern, this capability reduces duplication, supports standardization, and helps you avoid introducing unnecessary variability into your setup.

3. Configure, don’t code

Custom coding introduces risk, slows validation, and often requires developer involvement. cubeCDMS is a no-code solution, meaning every part of your study – visit schedules, edit checks, logic check – is built through configuration alone. This keeps your team in control of the system, reduces dependence on technical specialists, and makes the build process more transparent and auditable. It results in a leaner approach to study setup and maintenance.

4. Keep track of changes with a precise version control

Protocol amendments are prone to risk, especially if your tools are not designed to handle change efficiently. cubeCDMS includes built-in version control and a change checker, allowing you to manage amendments in a structured, traceable way. You can clearly identify areas of the system that are impacted by a change, implementing updates with confidence. This means less time spent reviewing and revalidating, and more time focused on delivering accurate, high-quality data. In addition, our EDC allows you to control when each version is made available to various countries, aligning with any country-specific requirements.

5. Reduce reporting burden with custom self-service reports

Developing study-specific reports takes time and often requires re-work, as study team members ask for changes when they start using the EDC. cubeCDMS addresses this with a powerful self-service reporting tool. Study teams can pull the data they need whenever they want to directly from the platform, without writing code or waiting on technical support. For data managers, this means fewer protocol-specific reports to create, faster access to key information, and a more efficient way to monitor data quality and study progress.

Efficiency isn’t just about speed - it’s about doing more with less effort.

cubeCDMS empowers clinical data teams to work more efficiently, by reusing proven assets, streamlining system configuration, simplifying change management, and giving teams access to the data and tools they need without adding complexity.

Whether you’re setting up your first study or managing multiple trials, cubeCDMS keeps your focus on delivering high-quality data, without having to fight with your EDC system.
