Advarra and IgniteData have formed a partnership to facilitate secure transfer of clinical trial data between research sites’ Advarra’s eSource and electronic data capture (EDC) systems, sponsor EDC platforms, and electronic health record (EHR) systems.
The collaboration aims to support an open, vendor-agnostic ecosystem to enhance trial execution, improve data accuracy, and reduce administrative tasks.

For commercial research sites lacking an EHR system, the integration will enable data capture in Advarra’s eSource to be transmitted via IgniteData’s Archer connector into the sponsor’s preferred EDC system.
For academic medical centres and cancer centres carrying out investigator-initiated trials, the integration will facilitate data transfer directly from the institution’s EHR through Archer into Advarra’s EDC system.
Advarra chief operating officer Scott Uebele said: “Sites have long struggled with fragmented, disconnected solutions that make data exchange cumbersome and error-prone.
“With 90 of the top 125 academic medical centres, 90% of NCI-Designated Cancer Centers, and over 300 enterprise research sites leveraging Advarra’s site technology—including OnCore CTMS, Clinical Conductor CTMS, eReg, eSource, and EDC—we’re dedicated to bringing innovations to market that simplify processes.

By GlobalData“Our partnership with IgniteData is a natural extension of that vision, building a more efficient, connected ecosystem that helps the research community work smarter together. By connecting EHR, eSource, and EDC systems, we’re removing administrative barriers that have bogged down research sites for years.”
The development of the integration has commenced, with initial collaboration with customers underway.
In April 2025, Advarra integrated its electronic institutional review board (eIRB) system, known as the Centre for IRB Intelligence (CIRBI), with its single-sign-on-enabled software, Study Collaboration, to provide visibility into trial site activation.
