Fintrial

FinTrial streamlines clinical trial financial operations from budget negotiation to CTA execution, patient stipends, and site payments. Improve transparency, accelerate study startup, and maintain audit readiness in one integrated platform.

End-to-End Clinical Trial Financial Lifecycle Management

From Budget Creation to Site and Patient Payments. One Unified Solution.

FinTrial is an integrated financial lifecycle management solution designed to streamline sponsor-to-site financial operations across the entire clinical trial lifecycle. The platform centralizes budget creation, negotiation, contract lifecycle management (CTA), patient stipend configuration, site payments, and invoice approvals into a single audit-ready system.

Traditional financial workflows in clinical trials are often fragmented across spreadsheets, email threads, disconnected contract systems, and manual payment tracking tools. FinTrial eliminates these inefficiencies by providing a single source of truth for financial planning, negotiation, execution, and reconciliation.

FinTrial empowers sponsors, CROs, and research sites to collaborate efficiently, reduce negotiation timelines, improve financial transparency, and maintain compliance with regulatory expectations including 21 CFR Part 11, ALCOA principles, and audit trail readiness.

Budget Lifecycle Management

From Budget Creation to Site and Patient Payments. One Unified Solution.

Accelerate Sponsor-Site Budget Negotiation with Structured Financial Workflows

FinTrial provides a comprehensive clinical trial budget lifecycle management system that enables sponsors and CROs to create, negotiate, finalize, and track study budgets in a structured and collaborative environment.

Sponsors can create budgets using reusable templates, import historical budgets, or configure study-specific cost structures. Budget line items can be organized by visit schedules, procedures, pass-through costs, overhead fees, and milestone-based payments. The system supports the ability to split budgets into sub-budgets and assign them to different site teams or regions, allowing scalable negotiation across multi-site trials.

Once the budget draft is prepared, FinTrial routes the budget through a role-based review process involving Analyst certification, QC validation, and Manager approval. After approval, the system securely publishes the budget for site negotiation.

Sponsors can generate secure negotiation links that allow site teams to review proposed budgets, provide feedback, submit counterproposals, and track revisions in real time. All negotiation actions are recorded with complete version history and audit trails.

Key Benefits:

  • Standardized budget templates improve consistency
  • Faster negotiation cycles reduce study startup timelines
  • Transparent version control improves collaboration
  • Role-based approvals ensure governance
  • Complete audit trails support inspection readiness

CTA Lifecycle Management

Structured Contract Workflow from Draft to Final Execution

FinTrial provides an end-to-end Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) lifecycle management system that streamlines the drafting, negotiation, approval, and execution of sponsor-site contracts.

Sponsors can create CTA language directly within the system or import standardized templates. A centralized clause library allows consistent contract language across studies while enabling flexibility for study-specific modifications.

CTA drafts are routed through a structured review workflow where QC teams validate contract language and managers provide final approval prior to publication. Once the base CTA is approved, site legal teams can review the contract, suggest redlines, and collaborate with sponsors to finalize language efficiently.

FinTrial maintains version-controlled contract records and generates final execution-ready CTA documents once agreement is reached. All contract versions, redlines, comments, and approvals are stored with complete traceability.

Key Benefits:

  • Faster contract turnaround times
  • Reduced legal communication delays
  • Standardized contract language management
  • Improved visibility into CTA status
  • Complete contract audit trail
 

Patient Stipend Lifecycle Management

Transparent and Automated Study Participant Payment Structure

FinTrial provides a structured framework for defining and managing patient stipends and reimbursements across clinical studies.

Sponsors and sites can define stipend structures based on visit schedules, procedures, travel reimbursements, or milestone-based compensation. Once stipend rules are approved by both sponsor and site teams, the system automatically generates subject payment schedules aligned with protocol visit structures.

FinTrial integrates with EDC systems to capture visit completion events and trigger stipend payment workflows automatically. This reduces manual tracking and ensures timely subject compensation.

The platform provides real-time visibility into stipend status, payment history, and financial summaries for each study participant. Complete audit trails ensure transparency and compliance readiness.

Key Benefits:

  • Accurate subject payment tracking
  • Reduced administrative workload
  • Improved participant satisfaction
  • Integration with visit completion data
  • Transparent stipend reporting

Site Payment Lifecycle Management

Efficient Invoice Review and Site Payment Execution

FinTrial simplifies the clinical trial site payment lifecycle by centralizing invoice submission, review, approval, and payment tracking.

Sites can submit invoices directly through the platform, including visit-based charges, procedure fees, milestone payments, and pass-through expenses. Sponsors can review invoices, request clarifications, approve or reject charges, and maintain communication records within the system.

Approved invoices are automatically transferred to the payment module, where finance teams can process payments and track payment status in real time. FinTrial maintains complete financial visibility across all studies and sites.

Comprehensive payment reports support financial reconciliation, audit readiness, and operational oversight.

Key Benefits:

  • Faster invoice processing
  • Improved financial transparency
  • Reduced manual reconciliation
  • Standardized payment workflows
  • Centralized site payment tracking
