Interactive Response Technology (IRT) is a system used to manage randomization, treatment assignment, and investigational product supply for clinical trials.
IRT helps preserve blinding by controlling allocation logic and limiting access to assignment details based on user role. Platforms typically manage inventory forecasting, site resupply, dose scheduling, and drug accountability records in real time. Validated IRT performance reduces operational errors that can compromise study integrity, such as incorrect randomization or supply shortages. Reliable IRT use supports protocol adherence, accurate treatment exposure documentation, and inspection-ready operational controls.
