title: Clinical trial management and remote data entry on the Internet based on XML case report forms.
abstract: The Internet and the World Wide Web have recently been introduced into the management of some aspects of clinical trials such as remote randomisation and data entry and the distribution of information on trial progress. A few larger trials use electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) built with HTML. This article describes a more flexible approach using the Extensible Markup Language XML.
