What do you like best about Castor?

Is easy to structure a clinical trial with castor. The platform is user-friendly and has many smart tools to personalize the study decreasing the time needed for a visit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castor?

I think something that Castor could improve when it comes to managing a clinical trial, is adding the option to assign to each subject both a screening number and (in case of inclusion) a participant number.

In this way would be easier to recognise each included participant without the need to exclude from the platform the subjects that did not pass the screening visit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Castor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves time while performing a clinical trial. Without having to print the CRF and the questionnaires makes my jo, as a clinical researcher, easier and more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We are very happy to hear that the platform is user-friendly and decreased the time necessary to complete a visit - excellent! Did you know that you can create 'Participant Statuses' to indicate designations such as enrolled, eligible, non-eligible, etc.? You can then filter your participants based on these statuses to only view eligible participants.

Thank you for sharing your experience - we strive to give all of our users the most productive experience possible!
