Abstract
A method and system for enabling display of real-time clinical trial enrollment data. A set of computer forms corresponding to an application enable administrative personnel to define a plurality of clinical trial parameters, including trial protocols, clinical sites, and optional regions. As the data is entered, it is stored in a central database, typically through a dedicated connection between a client running the application and the database. Software and infrastructure for supporting an Internet web portal is also provided, whereby the web portal enables clinical site personnel to enter subject enrollment data that is stored in the database as it is entered (i.e., in real-time). Various charts pertaining to the subject enrollment data may then be generated, including subject status charts and subject enrollment rate charts. In general, the charts may be aggregated across individual sites, regions, and all sites corresponding to a given protocol.
