What Is Clinical Data Management (CDM)? Complete Guide for Clinical Trials
What is clinical data management? Clinical data management involves the collection, validation, quality management, integration, and delivery of clinical data for statistical analysis, regulatory compliance and submission. In short, CDM ensures that every data point collected during a trial is accurate and meaningful, whether it comes from electronic case report forms, laboratory results, imaging systems, electronic patient‑reported outcomes (ePRO/eCOA), or wearable sensors.
