DSG will become a Signant company, and Signant will add the DSG capabilities to its digital solutions for clinical trials, including eCOA, EDC, eConsent, RTSM, supply chain management, and data quality analytics.
The DSG solution suite was chosen based on the following criteria: (1) ease of use – where sites in particular provided positive feedback; (2) operational efficiency – combines rapid study start up times with workflow tools and remote SDV capabilities; (3) flexibility –accommodates the requirements of both simple and complex study designs; and (4) customer support.
