How far back in time does the coverage go?

TrialScope Intelligence was launched Nov. 14, 2022 and covers all the requirements and updates from this point forward.

What information and sources does TrialScope Intelligence use? How many sources do you monitor overall?

We monitor hundreds of sources daily to capture all information that is relevant to the clinical trial disclosure function. Primary sources are health authority websites and the trial registry websites.

How often is TrialScope Intelligence updated?

We assess and review the accuracy of all content after it is curated from regulatory documents. The timelines for when added or updated information is uploaded depends on its size and complexity. Our updates would typically occur within 24-48 hours of publication by health authorities, but there may well be a longer lead time for major changes or creation of a new registry.

What is the process for updating TrialScope Intelligence?

We have a dedicated team of analysts and research managers experienced in this domain. The analysts monitor developments in the field continuously, and revise monitoring procedures as needed. They assess regulations for relevance, significance, and clarity; analyze and answer areas of uncertainty and then manually curate the information for the database. Research managers organize and input data and source documents, conduct QA (quality assurance) and publish validated new and updated data into the database.

What is the process for updating TrialScope Intelligence with Disclose Perspectives?

Our writers attend pertinent conferences and monitor regulatory and related news developments and trends. After assessing whether new information or ideas enhance understanding of the disclosure field, they may conduct further research or interviews before creating an article.

Who is responsible for updating TrialScope Intelligence?

Our core team of experts in regulatory intelligence and in the specific disclosure and transparency field train and supervise our analysts and validate database content. They have extensive experience in meeting customer needs with biopharma regulatory information and in understanding and working with disclosure regulatory requirements in industry and trial settings. Journalists experienced in reporting specialized policy and business information for biopharma professionals write and edit our Perspectives articles.

Does TrialScope Intelligence cover requirements for medical devices?

We currently cover requirements only for drugs, biologics and vaccines.

We plan to explore covering medical devices later, with input on our customers’ needs and interests.
