Structured Amendment Workflow
Every amendment follows a clear lifecycle: Draft → Review → Approved → Final. No more guessing which version is current or whether a change has been approved.
Inline Diff View
See exactly what changed between any two versions — word by word, color-coded, with attribution showing who made each change and when.
Amendment Reason Capture
Every edit requires a stated reason before it can be saved. This creates a scientific rationale trail required for regulatory submissions.
Multi-Step Approval
Route amendments through a configurable approval chain. Each approver receives a notification, reviews the diff, and signs off with a 21 CFR Part 11 e-signature.
DOCX Export
Export the amended protocol to DOCX at any stage — with tracked changes shown for sponsor review, or as a clean final version for submission.
Complete Version History
Every version of every protocol is preserved forever. Compare the original against Amendment 3. Roll back. Generate a change summary for the IRB.
Frequently asked questions
What is a protocol amendment in clinical trials?
A protocol amendment is a formal change to an approved clinical study protocol. Amendments require documentation of what changed, why it changed, and approval from the appropriate stakeholders. Under 21 CFR Part 11, all amendments must be tracked with an immutable audit trail.
How does Avenio track protocol amendments?
Avenio's amendment module tracks every change with a full diff view showing exactly what was added, removed, or modified — and who made each change. Amendments go through a structured lifecycle: Draft → Review → Approved → Final. Every edit captures the user's identity, timestamp, and stated reason for the change.
Can I see the difference between the original protocol and an amendment?
Yes. Avenio provides a side-by-side and inline diff view comparing any two versions of the protocol. Changes are color-coded and attributed to the specific user who made them.
How many amendment versions can a protocol have?
There is no limit. Avenio maintains the complete version history of every protocol, including all amendments. You can compare any two versions at any time.
Are amendment records required for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance?
Yes. 21 CFR Part 11 requires that all changes to electronic records be tracked with the identity of the person making the change and the date and time. Avenio's amendment module satisfies this requirement automatically — records cannot be altered or deleted after the fact.
