In pharmaceutical sector, information technology is focused on the optimal use of drug information, data, knowledge, for problem solving, promote safe pharmaceutical care. During COVID-19 pandemic, there has been augmentation in information communication technology usage in pharmacy teaching, research, industrialized training sector including clinical research as well. Clinical trials in clinical research are being managed by clinical trial management system in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Clinical trial management systems are cost and time effective and software includes budgeting, patient management, compliance with government regulations, project management, financials, patient management and recruitment, investigator management, regulatory compliance and compatibility with other systems such as electronic data capture and adverse event reporting systems.
