Code breaking

We can offer you an emergency code break (unblinding) service using either an internet or automated telephone based solution. Available 24 hours a day it means investigators can break the treatment blinding when patient safety is at risk.

Easy to use

Investigators break the blind by simply providing the unique randomisation number, vial number or other identifier used for your trial medication or intervention. Investigators are immediately notified of the unblinded treatment allocation.

Extra features

We give you a code break homepage that you can use to give guidance on the circumstances under which unblinding may become necessary.

Stay in the loop

Trial co-ordinators can choose to be notified by email and/or fax of every new code break.

Safe and secure

Users require valid authentication details to access the code break application.

Internet unblinding is conducted via SSL encryption for added security.

Log files detailing all activity on the code break system are available to the trial co-ordinator.
