Castor’s stratified block randomization module makes it easy for any user to set up a complex randomization within the EDC system. Our module supports blinded, weighted randomization, variable block sizes (for two groups: [2,4], [2,4,6], [4,6], [4,6,8],  [6,8,10]) and stratification by categorical fields and institute. User roles for blinded randomization can be created, allowing them to randomize patients without revealing allocation.

Global access to Castor EDC takes your study beyond the confines of one institute and allows users to contribute from around the world. Advanced user management allows you to customize access for each individual participating in your study.

Take control over eCRF visibility by assigning user roles for an institute and hiding parts of the study based on a particular role. We’ve already defined three basic roles; ‘admin’, ‘data-entry’ and ‘monitor’, and you can either use these or define your own. You can assign rights or update permissions as and when required.

Monitor patient progress at-a-glance, viewing steps or phases in the dashboard filtered by conditions such as record status or institute name. Each phase or step is colored in based on their respective completion status, and queries are highlighted by red question marks for your convenience.

Increase the overall efficiency of your study by automating tedious manual tasks and creating actions in response to a particular event or trigger. Set up, test and edit your automations within the Automation Engine.
