PPD Implements Web-based Event Adjudication System

PPD and CISYS LifeSciences announced PPD’s implementation of Sequence WebEAS, a new Web-based event adjudication system, through a collaboration between the two companies. Sequence WebEAS automates and captures all activities, documents and data required for adjudication. The use of Event Adjudication Committees (EACs) to adjudicate research endpoints is steadily growing, driven by expanding safety requirements, especially those aimed at more rigorous evaluation of cardiovascular risk. The Sequence WebEAS data import function automates the event identification process to automatically pull in event/patient data from various electronic data capture (EDC) systems. Once into the system, the Sequence WebEAS adjudication workflow process automates document collection, dossier preparation, EAC committee selection and scheduling, and dossier distribution. This process enables the system to improve efficiency of activities and quality by maintaining consistency.
