### "Mi experiencia con CASTOR"

February 4, 2025

5.0

Es de uso tan fácil que prácticamente no necesitas hacer el training

Pros

La facilidad de su uso. Es muy cómoda la manera de filtrar por centros y por pacientes. También es muy reseñable que el cuaderno te facilite gráficos de completación de datos.

Cons

Me resulta un poco complicado la resolución de queries

### "Ease of Use"

February 18, 2025

4.0

it is great so far. when I enter data it automatically saves. I can see the queries if there are pending. The survey status if patients have not yet completed their surveys. Even the ability to send surveys/questionnaires to patients is very convenient. I can see who last opened the patient's file. The ability to redacted documents that is helpful too. The authentication factor is easy to do, aside from security.

Pros

Ease of use. The tabs are clearly identified.

Cons

None so far maybe because this is the first trial we have on this EDC and not a lot of participants and not a lot of information to enter.

### "An excellent platform to manage clinical trial data."

February 18, 2025

5.0

I have used Castor for 3 Research studies now. I enjoy using it, and find it's an easy system to access and learn.

Pros

Castor is an easy to access system and is clear and concise. The questions are clear and unambiguous.

Cons

The only issue I have is the time it takes to save a page before I can move onto the next. This may be more down to the hospital's IT systems.

4.0

Pros

Castor is very easy to use for any study design. You can add and remove based on your Case Reporting Form or questionnaires

### "Quite good "

February 4, 2025

4.0

Quite good but some improvements needed. Authenticating process is cumbersome specially when it gets auto logged out within a few minutes

Pros

Easy to navigate, less auto queries, less system checks inhibiting data entry, given ts a web application with no requirement to download the soft ware on a desk top, it’s easier to work on from anywhere and anytime.

Cons

Gets logged out too quickly, requiring authenticating code at each log in, one authenticating code should be enough for 7-10 days to prevent time wasted on authenticating app, the website should be faster with less time spent on loading pages.

### "Castor EDC - nice interface "

February 4, 2025

5.0

Overall, the Castor EDC interface is more advanced and intuitive than other EDC systems I've used that are more archaic.

Pros

It's easy to navigate and sort data, specifically related to queries. Audit trail is helpful.

Cons

I feel like it timed out too quickly when I was working in it and I'd have to sign in again with reauthentication.

### "What to improve in the castor EDC"

February 4, 2025

5.0

Overall it is a really useful IWRS to work with

Pros

Once inside it is really intuitive. Also, you don't have to change the password every specific time, it doesn't expire and that is really useful.

Cons

Depending in which language you chose, it allows you to log in. It it was in Netherlands it was posible to log in, and if I canged it to english my pasword said incorrect. Also, as a pharmacist I didn't receive an email when the doctor asigned medication on the system.

### "Castor EDC is a good product"

February 4, 2025

5.0

It was intuitive to make use of, and well-designed. It was helpful that a good amount of time was allowed to enter multiple case reports. I would recommend it and make use of it again myself if given the opportunity.

Pros

The site worked well. In particular the survey was well designed to perform real-time quality assessment to promote completion of each section and provide feedback if answers were unclear. If there are any problems, human staff were readily available to resolve them.

Cons

No significant dislike. It might be helpful to have a comment box available for each of the cases reported, in case the person completing the survey has any question about what is being asked for or is not certain that their best response is exactly what is being asked for. Not essential, however.
