Traditional data management separates technology from execution. This creates inefficiencies, handoff delays, and communication gaps that slow down your study. With Castor, you get a unified workflow that replaces these silos with one platform and one expert team. Because we build the tech we use, our data managers are 100% native platform experts. It’s a faster way to get cleaner, submission-ready data without the usual lag or overhead.
Predictable pricing from day one
Trusted by clinical operations teams worldwide
When technology and services sit in separate hands, coordination gaps slow everything down. Here is what changes when they come from one place.
Zero intermediate layers. You work directly with native experts who build the technology they use daily. No handoffs between systems or teams.
Edit checks catch issues at the point of entry. Castor’s DM team then adds expert review, query management, and active oversight throughout the study, so data is continuously clean rather than cleaned in a rush at the end.
Your data managers review and clean data as it comes in, not in a batch at study end. You get direct visibility into data quality and query status without waiting for a scheduled report.
Transparent packages where Castor assumes the risk. If it takes longer than scoped, that cost stays with us. Your budget stays exactly where you planned it.
When technology and services come from separate providers, accountability becomes unclear. Teams spend time bridging systems rather than resolving data issues.
Data accumulates across the study and is cleaned in a compressed window at the end. That late-stage backlog delays database lock and compresses your submission timeline.
You wait for monthly reports just to see your own data. Real-time oversight is not part of the arrangement, so problems surface late.
Granular hourly billing penalizes you when the vendor takes longer than expected. Every scope change becomes a negotiation.
You get quality built into your study from day one. By using native platform capabilities across our electronic data capture system, we ensure a smarter setup that prevents errors before they happen. The result is a dataset that holds up to regulatory scrutiny without remediation.
Standards alignment built in from the first eCRF field
Data review from first patient visit, not deferred to a closeout sprint
Native platform expertise across every engagement
Our clinical data management experts are also platform experts. Because our implementation and DM teams work as one, you benefit from a process that removes intermediary friction and the communication bottlenecks that often stall delivery timelines. This is not an outsourced service. It is a direct extension of your team.
Years clinical research experience per data manager
Intermediary layers between you and your data management team
Line to experts who act as an extension of your team
Our experts operate as an extension of your team to ensure data integrity at every stage.

It means your eCRF is built to CDASH standards from the first participant visit, not retrofitted before submission. Castor’s implementation team aligns variable naming, edit checks, and domain structure to regulatory requirements at the build stage. When you reach database lock, the dataset is already structured for SDTM mapping and regulatory review. There is no remediation sprint. Your data is clean, auditable, and review-ready because it was designed that way from the start.
Castor offers tiered fixed-fee packages priced at the start of the engagement. The fee covers the agreed scope of data management services for the life of the study. If the work takes longer than anticipated, that cost is absorbed by Castor, not billed back to you. This removes the variable-cost risk common in hourly billing arrangements and makes your data management budget predictable from day one.
Castor offers fixed-fee data management packages covering different levels of service from start-up through closeout. All packages include core services such as data review, query management, EDC build, data management plan development, and database lock. Higher tiers add services such as eCRF development, domain standards design, user acceptance testing, and medical coding. The right package depends on your team’s in-house capabilities and the complexity of your protocol.
Yes. Castor supports studies across 8,000+ sites globally. The platform handles multi-country regulatory requirements, site and user management, and external data reconciliation within a single validated environment. Our data management team provides real-time oversight across every site regardless of geography, reviewing and cleaning data continuously as it enters the system. Our DM team has experience managing complex multi-regional studies and can support trials spanning multiple countries and time zones.
