摘要：Currently there are many clinical trials using paper case report forms as the primary data collection tool.Cloud Computing platforms provide big potential for increasing efficiency through a web-based datacollection interface, especially for large-scale multi-center trials. Traditionally, clinical and biologicaldata for multi-center trials are stored in one dedicated,centralized database system running at a datacoordinating center (DCC). This paper presents C-PASS-PC, a cloud-driven prototype of multi-centerproactive surveillance system for prostate cancer. The prototype is developed in PHP, JQuery and CSSwith an Oracle backend in a local Web server and database server and deployed on Google App Engine(GAE) and Google Cloud SQL-MySQL. The deploying process is fast and easy to follow. The C-PASS-PCprototype can be accessed through an SSL-enabledweb browser. Our approach proves the concept thatcloud computing platforms such as GAE is a suitable and flexible solution in the near future for multicenterclinical trials.
