Veeva's Game-Changing eSource Application for Clinical Trials
In a significant development for clinical research, Veeva Systems has unveiled
Veeva eSource, a groundbreaking application aimed at transforming the way clinical trial data is collected and managed. Scheduled for early adopter availability in the latter half of 2026, this innovative tool addresses one of the most pressing challenges in clinical trials: paperwork. By integrating electronic health records (EHR) and electronic data capture (EDC), Veeva eSource aims to eliminate redundant data entry and significantly enhance data quality.
Streamlining Clinical Processes
Clinical trials historically involve cumbersome paperwork that complicates data collection and verification. Veeva's eSource directly targets this issue, providing a seamless process that significantly reduces the manual effort traditionally required at research sites. Alisha Garibaldi, CEO of Skylight Health Research, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "A seamless flow of data from Veeva eSource to EDC will reduce errors, minimize QC processing, and allow us to spend more time where it matters – with our patients."
Veeva eSource operates with several key features:
- - Electronic Health Record (EHR) Integration: Transfers relevant patient data directly into eSource, subsequently forwarding it to the EDC. This minimizes the burden on research sites by eliminating duplicate data entry, thus easing the workload on both staff and patients.
- - Direct Trial Data Capture Application: The application allows sites to collect trial data digitally, eliminating the need for paper forms. This feature not only enhances user experience but also works in tandem with Veeva SiteVault's Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) to unify the patient experience throughout their trial journey.
- - EDC Integration: Veeva eSource automates the movement of patient information, significantly reducing the time it takes to relay data while mitigating errors. This integration also allows study protocols to be easily created within eSource, aligning with the specific study design requirements.
Revolutionizing Data Verification
One of the standout benefits of the Veeva eSource application is its potential to completely eliminate source data verification (SDV). By capturing data directly from the source rather than relying on transcribed information, the eSource application reduces laborious processes for sponsors, fostering a more efficient workflow within clinical trials. Jim Reilly, President of Veeva Development Cloud, emphasized the importance of this feature, stating, "For the first time, we are connecting data and processes to enable straight-through clinical data flow from site to sponsor."
Enhancing Participant Experience
By streamlining data management, Veeva eSource not only aims to improve operational efficacy for clinical trial sponsors but also enhances the overall experience for trial participants. The reduction of paper-related processes increases efficiency, ensures higher data integrity, and allows clinical sites to focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks. As Nick Frenzer, General Manager of Veeva Site Solutions, stated, "Veeva eSource advances our goal of delivering significant efficiency and simplicity for clinical trial sites."
The Future of Clinical Trials
As the healthcare industry continues to move towards more digitized solutions, Veeva eSource is positioned to be at the forefront of clinical trial innovation. By leveraging technology to bridge the gap between sites and sponsors, Veeva is committed to simplifying, standardizing, and connecting clinical trial processes, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders involved—from researchers to patients.
This new application reflects Veeva Systems’ ongoing mission to enhance operational efficiency and transparency in clinical trials, ensuring that organizations can navigate the complexities of modern research. To learn more about Veeva and its innovative solutions, visit
