Virtual data room for displaying clinical trial status reports based on real-time clinical trial data, with information control administration module that specifies which reports are available for display

Abstract

A system is provided for use in distributing information associated with an investigational product, such as a pharmaceutical drug. The information includes electronic documents associated with the investigational product, and a plurality of different electronic reports based on real-time patient clinical study data of the investigational product. The system includes a database that stores the electronic documents, a virtual data room that is in electronic communication with the database and which includes a memory that stores the electronic reports, an information presentation module, and an information control administration module. The information presentation module causes a display of the information to a user of the virtual data room via a display screen. The electronic reports are generated using the real-time patient clinical study data when requested to be displayed. The information control administration module specifies which electronic reports will be made available to the user. Only the specified electronic reports are selectable for display on the display screen by the user of the virtual data room. In this manner, only the specified electronic reports may be generated for display to a user of the virtual data room.
