ZELTA, MY EXPERIENCE

Rating: 6 out of 10

Incentivized

September 12, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The software is utilized within specific departments for the design and management of clinical trial development. The cloud based format allows for instant shared access to data and information that forms the basis of the research the company carries out. Creating reports of findings is a simple process and the software on a whole is simple to learn.

Pros

Cloud based sharing of information
Trail Design
Trail Development

Cons

Menus can be confusing until you have spent time with the software.
A good internet connection is requiered.
Information is repeated.

Likelihood to Recommend

The software [Zelta] is ideal if you are looking for a way to gather information on various trials and share [it] with other departments and members of your group. This can be done via the cloud which simplifies the whole process. The perfect platform to capture manage analyze and report date studies on multiple areas. The software, however, is less suited to a real time situation.

September 12, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zelta is currently being piloted by certain project teams in Development. The hope is that Zelta can help us better organize and visualize clinical trial information.

Pros

Provides detailed data on-demand
Allows rapid study design
Provides standardization across all clinical trial elements

Cons

Some modules are expensive.
Reporting could be more user friendly (steep learning curve).
Training should utilize more (simple) examples.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zelta is a good tool for companies currently utilizing multiple software platforms to create and monitor clinical trial information. Due to the price, it is best suited for large pharmaceutical manufacturers with active pipelines and high R&D spend. Zelta's value is more limited to smaller, more focused companies.

Great Clinical Development Database Software

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

May 19, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zelta is being used specifically by our Data Management Department here at Veristat. We design CRFs and studies per the sponsor's request/specification for their clinical trials so that study coordinators can enter the data into the system. We use it to track subjects, analyze data, prepare reports, and send SAS extracts to sponsors so they can present results to their regulatory agencies.

Pros

Friendly user interface.
Ability to code complex queries and visit rules.
Intuitive.

Cons

Missing ability to batch add dynamics to a page.
Better organization of visit rules if you have a lot.
Many changes require mid study updates

Likelihood to Recommend

Zelta has been well suited for all of the studies that we have helped build and manage at Veristat. As previously mentioned, it has a very intuitive interface and pages are easy to build. Queries, dynamics, and visit rules are easy to build and I like that Zelta will show if there are current errors or potential errors with your setup.

Zelta: A Very, Good Data Collection Tool

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

April 30, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zelta by Merative in our clinical department collecting data for all of our studies. It is a useful tool in collecting data from around the world.

Pros

It is highly customizable and easy to program.
There is a wide variety of data that can be collected from IRB/site information to clinical data.
Zelta provides comprehensive edit language to program for accurate results.
Page dynamics are very useful when including or hiding certain data questions.

Cons

Reporting is very clunky and most often needs to be programmed by Zelta itself. Getting Excel listings isn't user friendly for all employees.
The date functions are limited when setting up visit windows.
The User Manual gets to be a bit confusing in areas. It would benefit using direct examples when explaining programming.
Having the ability to attach documents (i.e., IRB approval in the Site Documents section) would be beneficial instead of getting a separate CTMS.
The audit trail report is non-functional for us. There is too much data for it to handle.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zelta is a good tool for collecting data but you have to have other programs to analyze that data. Payments are difficult to track and reporting is mostly non-existent. As a data specialist, I know how to 'see' the data but I have to filter [and] sort the Excel sheet quite a bit in order to pass it on to those requesting the data. Our FDA reports go through a third-party to format correctly and we still need to validate their tables which takes much longer than it should. This is the first system I've used for electronic data capture and overall it is functional. There are items I wish I had better control over (visit windows, payments, reporting), but Zelta is easy to use and easy to program for basic collection. I'm fairly sure I could spend more time on the nuances of the system but there's simply no time when involved in a large subject study.

CRA review of Zelta by Merative Review

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

April 29, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we are offering Zelta by Merative as a data management (EDC) tool for our clients that our Data Management department can customize to meet their needs for research/data collection.

Pros

Ease of subject data entry for site data entry.
Ease of query review for CRA management and source verification.
Ability to generate data tables for general study review.

Cons

Would like to have more access to report review. Most of the functions are controlled by the initial data management setup of the specific reports. I would like to be able to run my own custom programs as a CRA (some way to bypass internal programming).
Sites note that they are limited in pulling tables (with specific information ) based on internal programming. I only see what DM has allowed with the CVS/EXCEL tables.
Better user guide to assist with training.

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall, one of the better systems that I have used. Seems to be able to have applications for Phase I and Phase II data entry. I have not had any serious issues/complaints with the program.

Overall Happy Customer

February 19, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zelta by Merative is being used to conduct and manage clinical trial data. It is being used by specific departments in the organization. Zelta helps in collection of the clinical trial data directly from various sites in a study very smoothly. It is really user friendly when it comes to setup of any study.

Pros

User friendly and easy to use
Fast
Easy-to-create reports

Cons

EDC support system to be enhanced and calls should be arranged to discuss it in detail by sharing screen over a Zoom call or MS teams (or by any other preferred method).
Page dynamics tab should have advanced expression editor enabled, along with basic editor.
An additional option to post a re-query should be made available. Currently, if a re-query is to be posted, the original answered query needs to be closed and a new query needs to be generated. This does not provide a reference to the previous query on which this re-query is posted.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zelta is best suited while setting up a study. It is really quick and very simple to set up a study without unnecessary complexities in navigation. Though, it may not be suited to build a study with high design complexity, for an Oncology study where the sub-folders are needed, for example.

February 12, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my organization, Zelta by Merative is being used by my department, namely clinical data management. We prefer to use this over other commercially available EDC products because Zelta offers us a very intuitive and unified platform, which is adaptable and can be customized to different needs of different clinical projects.

Pros

Electronic data capture (EDC)
Data integration
Randomization and trial supply management (RTSM)

Cons

It should have an e-learning module where trainings can be assigned to individuals based on their desired role
Mobile EDC app for Andorid and iOS

Likelihood to Recommend

Is well suited in scenarios where the main requirement is to design and manage randomization and trial supplies in a single interface with minimal coding. It is not appropriate in scenarios where the budget is short for EDC and associated modules, since what comes default might not be sufficient or the project may need advanced resources/modules (e.g., laboratory management), which come at additional cost.
