More About Nebula

Accessible

Web-based and accessed from most modern and secure web browsers with an internet connection. Easy-to-use, highly intuitive user interface. High availability.

Customizable

Built to be customizable and flexible, understanding that every clinical trial is unique. We partner with our clients to configure our system to meet the specific needs of their clinical trial. The CRAB Nebula EDC system has supported clinical trials for 20+ years.

Reliable

Secure encrypted transmission of trial data with the use of web-based electronic case report forms. Disaster recovery plan with daily backups and secure onsite and offsite storage. Software changes undergo a seven phase development process.

FDA Registration Ready

Our solution provides web-based electronic case report forms (eCRFs) for secure encrypted transmission of trial data, compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

User & Site Management

Our Web Administrative Module provides quick and easy entry of user and site information. As an option, user accounts may be managed across multiple trials, enabling users to use their same login information for each trial. User roles, permissions, and access can be customized within each trial.

Practice Site

We provide both a live and a practice version of the trial EDC system. The practice version may be used for real time demos of the system during site initiation visits, and may be made available to trial users for use in their own time. CRAB Trainers are also able to assist your training regimen.

Calendar Tab

At the click of a mouse, CRAB’s Calendar Tab provides a centralized view of all study forms that need to be submitted or updated for a particular subject. Information about forms is summarized on the Calendar Tab and includes hyperlinks to related locations within the EDC system.

Study Arm Administration Tool

Authorized users open and close treatment arms to further enrollment using CRAB’s Study Arm Administration Tool (START). This tool is used in phase I and I/ II studies for treatment doses with a small target enrollment goal per dose when adverse event data indicate that a treatment arm should be closed early.

Third Party Vendors & System Integration

We will work with you to determine how we should configure our flexible EDC system to best meet the needs of each trial. We have experience integrating with a range of other vendors and their technology solutions (randomization, drug distribution, billing, imaging, etc.).

Study Announcements & Document Access

Password-protected access is provided to study announcements and documents, allowing the EDC system to become a central hub for trial activity and information. Our system provides our project managers with methods for posting documents and announcements in real time.

Team Portal

Clients with multiple trials may also request a branded password-protected Team Portal where site staff and collaborators can access trials and a wide variety of documents and reports.
