"The results support the feasibility of
patient self-ratings using IVR technology… results were available
for randomization decisions in a timely manner. The last study
subject completed the trial at 10 a.m. on 12/2/97. The sponsor
had verified results of all study scores by 2 p.m. the same day."

Telephone Assessment of Generalized Anxiety in a Clinical Drug
Trial: A Feasibility Study. Poster presented at the NCDEU 38th
Annual Meeting, Boca Raton, FL, June 10-13, 1998.
Clinical IVR Systems are used to:
- Collect primary and secondary efficacy data
- Collect quality of life data and pharmacoeconomic data
- Record patient diary information
- Measure speed of onset
- Gather quality assurance data
- Collect post-marketing data for large study populations
- Increase brand awareness through value-added services for
patients and clinicians
- Complement disease management programs
Advantages of telephone based clinical assessments:
- Efficient collection of data between office visits
- Eliminates inter-rater differences and minimizes rating bias
- Cost-effective collection of long-term safety and efficacy data
- Better monitoring of daily subject compliance
- Efficient use of site resources
- Minimizes the nonspecific therapeutic effect of contact with site staff
- Efficient and accurate enrollment tracking
- Reduces data entry costs and eliminates errors
- Access data immediately and reduce time to data lock
