- QUOTE: The generic term Interactive Response Technology (IRT) originally summarized technologies that optimized the availability of medication during clinical studies at the test centers. In the meantime, other areas of application such as e.g. For example, updating the expiry date of a medication or, in emergencies, revealing the assignment of patients to the individual examination groups ("unblinding") prematurely during an ongoing clinical study.[1] ...

- … OnCore eClinical, Aetiol EDC [Jade Global Solutions {JGS}] and IBM Watson Health's IBM Clinical Development are examples of Web-based data capture systems focused on capturing clinical data through electronic case report forms (eCRF). Other systems like XNAT, LORIS, and EEGBase include support for imaging, electrophysiology, and other data modalities less suitable to eCRFs. In such systems, studies can be set up for each drug trial. In-built edit checks help in removing erroneous data. The system can also be connected to other external systems. For example, RAVE can be connected to an IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System) facility to capture data through direct telephonic interviews of patients. Although IRT (Interactive Response Technology) systems (IVRS/IWRS) are most commonly associated to the enrollment of a patient in a study thus the system defining the arm of the treatment that the patient will take and the treatment kit numbers allocated to this arm (if applicable). Besides rather expensive commercial solutions, there are more and more open source clinical data management systems available on the market. CDMS implementations are required to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 federal regulations to be used for FDA registered drug trials. Part 11 requirements include audit trails, electronic signatures, and overall system validation.

- QUOTE: If you ask them, I am convinced your Clinical Operations teams would be delighted to utilize an I.R.T. (Interactive Response Technology) system to help them in this difficult task. The IRT system is a central piece of trial management that enables patient randomization, real-time drug allocation, and dynamic drug supply forecasting. ...
  ... Treating patients on time, every time, with the right drug while keeping the study blind is not an easy task without help of an IRT system. Drug allocation via IRT is a good example of showing how necessary it is to use an interactive system. At randomization the IRT registers what is patient's treatment group and thanks to the preliminary programming/configuration phase the system can refer to a visit plan and look at the expected material type for next dispensing. Accordingly, the IRT will provide study personnel what kit number should be dispensed to each subject.
