For clinical operations teams at sponsors and CROs
Clinical Trial Oversight
Every deviation, one auditable record.
No source or process change
Live across 100+ sites in 8 countries
The gap
Your deviations live in many places. Your oversight can't.
You're accountable for how your CRO handles each one.
Paper and electronic
Site logs, EDC queries, vendor files. Some are deviations, some are not.
No trail
No record of who decided, or when it was escalated.
Your QMS can't sort it
It holds confirmed deviations. Nothing decides what is one.
CRAs aren't detectives
No process to find the deviation inside a closed query.
You need a system that does this job.
Not built for preclinical work, or single-site studies on a full eClinical suite.
Clinical trial oversight for sponsors and CROs
ShownCRO-delegated setup. In-house or hybrid? Vera fits how you run your study.
Keep oversight of every deviation
You can delegate the work. You can't delegate the oversight.
- You enter nothing. You just decide.Cases arrive classified, reviewed and evidenced. Decide or request changes.
- Critical deviations don't wait for the meeting.Consent or sample issues go straight to a named decision-maker. Everything else goes to your data review meeting.
- Every decision is its own evidence.Each decision is recorded with a name, role and timestamp, then locked. Export to your eTMF at any time.
- Every source, one record.EDC, spreadsheets and paper site logs in one place. Vera reads, never writes back.
Show the oversight you were contracted to deliver
Your sponsor delegated the work. Vera proves you did it.
- Hand over finished cases, not spreadsheets.CRAs enter and classify. CPMs review before the sponsor sees it. Vera enforces independent operational review.
- Every step your team takes is on the record.Each step is logged with a name, role and timestamp. That's proof of delegated oversight for your sponsor and inspectors.
- Every source, reconciled as you go.Import EDC exports, spreadsheets or paper site logs. Repeats and missing SOP fields are flagged.
- Catch stalled deviations before the review meeting.See every open deviation's stage and age, and act in time.

Why Vera: clinical trial oversight is about trust, not speed
Nothing changes in your sources
Vera reads exports from your EDC, Excel trackers and paper site logs, and never writes back. No migration, no integration project, no new system for your sites. Live in 3–6 weeks.
Independent review, built in
The person who creates a case can't operationally review it. Every step is recorded with name, role and time in an append-only audit trail.
Critical deviations don't wait for the meeting
Routine deviations go to your data review meeting. Consent or sample issues go straight to a named decision-maker, sent by your CRA as soon as the deviation is entered.

to start PD review.
Vera reads your EDC exports, paper site logs and vendor files, and never writes back. Before review starts, it sorts what to report and what not. Over-reporting buries the deviations that matter. Under-reporting hides them.
See how the filter works in Vera Deviate →- 1What countsYour protocol's own deviation definitions, so every site applies the same rule.
- 2Where it is loggedOne source log for each deviation, not an inbox or a note-to-file.
- 3Which ones matterImportant deviations, such as consent or sample issues, are separated from routine ones.

Your study looks like the ones Vera was built for: deviations from several sources, assessments the EDC can't hold, and critical decisions that can't wait.
Your gaps, most weight first
This self-check is a conversation starter, not an audit or a regulatory assessment. Tags show where each question connects to FDA regulations, ICH E6(R3) or FDA’s December 2024 draft guidance on protocol deviations, which is nonbinding. Bionabu is not affiliated with or endorsed by FDA or ICH.
