This fact sheet details IQVIA’s electronic Drug Accountability and Returns Management (DARM) system, which modernizes compliance and patient safety in clinical trials. Integrated with Interactive Response Technology (IRT), it automates drug tracking from release to destruction, replacing error-prone paper logs. Benefits include improved accuracy, reduced FDA audit findings, enhanced risk-based monitoring, and streamlined trial closeouts. DARM ensures end-to-end visibility, supports remote CRA oversight, and creates full audit trails.
