The New England Journal of Medicine published the results from a National Institute of Mental Health-funded study titled Clinical Antipsychotic Trial of Intervention Effectiveness – Schizophrenia (CATIE–SZ). ICTI is proud to reveal that the data for this study, conducted with 1493 subjects from 57 clinical sites in 24 states, was collected using an early version of ICTI’s iTrial EDC software.
Paris, France – The New England Journal of Medicine published the results from a National Institute of Mental Health-funded study titled Clinical Antipsychotic Trial of Intervention Effectiveness–Schizophrenia (CATIE–SZ). ICTI is proud to reveal that the data for this study, conducted with 1493 subjects from 57 clinical sites in 24 states, was collected using an early version of ICTI's iTrial EDC software.
The CATIE–SZ study looked at the effectiveness of five marketed antipsychotic drugs, allowing subjects to switch treatments during the study. iTrial EDC was used in combination with IVR (Interactive Voice Response) to gather real-time subject and treatment data for this study. The integration of data gathered over the phone with IVR as well as through the Internet with iTrial EDC allowed trial managers to access real time data and to review all study data in one place.
iTrial EDC's ability to work in any environment, whether or not an Internet connection is available, and its ease of integration with IVR resulted in its being chosen over another leading EDC technology for the CATIE–SZ study.
While iTrial EDC has continued to add enhancements since its launch seven years ago, it remains notable for its ability to work anywhere, to handle complexity in clinical trial design, and to easily integrate with other systems. Integration with ICTI's iVR system is now a standard offering to iTrial EDC's clients.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
