Oracle Clinical One & GxP Compliance
Clinical trials have been plagued with process redundancy and inefficiency due to siloed data, fragmented technologies, and inconsistent operational practices. Today’s study teams and sites rely on a collection of siloed point solutions that simply weren’t built to work together. What if you could build a study once, enter data once, and do everything in one place?
Oracle Clinical One is a unified eClinical platform that harmonizes data, streamlines workflow, and saves significant time from study startup to study closeout. In partnership with USDM Life Sciences, the Oracle Clinical One platform offers a GxP compliant solution to ensure that systems are validated correctly and remain in a state of continuous compliance with USDM Cloud AssuranceTM

Frequently Asked Questions
USDM is Oracle’s exclusive life sciences compliance partner. As existing on-premises and new Oracle customers move their regulated data to the cloud, USDM Cloud Assurance provides a solution to enable these customers to achieve and maintain continuous compliance cost-effectively and efficiently. USDM Cloud Assurance provides a managed subscription service that allows Oracle SCM Cloud customers to trust that their system is continuously compliant and maintained with every software update. As Oracle’s SCM Cloud solutions evolve through ongoing development and new functionality, customers can take advantage of the new features while staying in a compliant state.
USDM’s automated regression suite provides the ability to verify, overnight, that your Oracle SCM Cloud system is still compliant after an Oracle SCM Cloud system-wide release. USDM Cloud Assurance further provides ready-made accelerators of key Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) validation deliverables to assure your company quickly goes live and stays compliant.
Oracle releases new updates quarterly. USDM has access to these new releases in advance and works directly with Oracle product management to ensure that the necessary assessment and tests are in place to keep Oracle SCM Cloud customers compliant.
Without USDM, life science companies need more internal resources and have higher costs associated with maintaining compliance on their own. Further USDM’s 20+ years of regulatory expertise, vast knowledge of Oracle SCM Cloud, and understanding of the nuances of CSV/CSA, save customers a significant amount of time. Plus, USDM does not go on vacation or have competing IT priorities so that you can trust your system stays compliant. USDM’s subscription services take much of the burden of compliance from the customer, allowing them to focus on more innovative priorities and run their business.
Cloud Assurance provides the following accelerators and deliverables:
- Vendor Assurance Report
- System Level Risk Assessment (SLRA)
- Validation Plan (VP)
- User Requirements Specification (URS) / Functional Requirements Specification (FRS)
- Configuration Specification (CS)
- Configuration Qualification (CQ)
- Operational/Performance Qualification Test Scripts (OPQ)
- Traceability Matrix (TM)
- Validation Summary Report (VSR)
At the beginning of each project, customers will receive USDM’s Vendor Assurance Report. The Vendor Assurance Report is an in-depth summary of the annual vendor audit. This report is leverageable as documented evidence of the Vendor’s procedures and results of the verification and validation activities performed.
The remaining CSV deliverables are customized using USDM proprietary accelerators for each customer and will be delivered as the phases finish in each project. We believe every customer is different and has unique requirements, so we do not provide one-size-fits-all templates. USDM accelerators are fast-start tools based on 20 years of life sciences solution delivery and best practices to ensure rapid execution for your unique needs and deliverables.
To gain greater benefits from your Cloud Assurance subscription, USDM offers the following additional GxP services. Fees are scoped on a project-by-project basis.
