Pakistan’s clinical research sector has matured rapidly, attracting international sponsors with its young population, dense site networks and significantly lower operational costs. The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) now runs a well-defined pathway for clinical trials under the Drug (Research) Rules, while the National Bioethics Committee (NBC) and institutional review boards provide the ethics layer.
The teams running these studies — local CROs, hospitals and their global sponsors — increasingly need the same data infrastructure their Western counterparts use, at a price that makes local budgeting sane. Elysium Clinical Trials EDC delivers exactly that: a compliant, cloud-based eCRF platform with rupee-visible pricing and none of the hardware or licence overhead of legacy systems.
This page explains the Pakistani regulatory context, how Elysium supports it, and what the platform costs locally.
Local Regulatory Authorities & Data Integrity
Elysium is engineered for the record-keeping expectations of the authorities that govern clinical research in Pakistan.
DRAP (Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan)
DRAP regulates clinical trials through the Drug (Research) Rules 2017 and issues the necessary NOCs and approvals. Clean, attributable and exportable data helps you demonstrate the integrity DRAP expects.
National Bioethics Committee (NBC)
The NBC provides country-level ethics guidance and works with institutional review boards on trial protocols. Versioned eCRFs and complete audit trails support ethics and progress reviews.
International GCP (ICH E6) & ICTRP registration
Global sponsors expect ICH GCP alignment and registry transparency. Elysium’s query, SDV and audit workflows match the GCP standard, and clean data simplifies WHO ICTRP recordkeeping.
Data protection (GDPR-aligned practice)
Pakistan is progressing its personal data protection legislation; meanwhile international sponsors expect GDPR-aligned handling. Elysium offers GDPR-conscious defaults: RBAC, encryption and audited access.
A typical Pakistani trial runs through DRAP NOC and an NBC-recognised institutional review board, and sponsors often pair a Pakistani site with a lead site in another country. Elysium handles both patterns cleanly: one study environment, national and international sites, site-level data delegation and a single audit trail visible to Pakistani and global monitors alike.

Questions about EDC for Pakistan
Is Elysium accepted for DRAP-regulated trials?
DRAP approves trials; Elysium provides the data-capture foundation those approvals rely on — attributable records, audit trails, electronic signatures and full export. Sponsors and ethics bodies routinely accept this standard of system for Pakistani studies.
Can local sites use Elysium with limited internet?
Yes. Data entry works over regular browsers with modest bandwidth, and the server supports resilient form submission flows. We design studies so coordinators can enter data reliably even where connectivity is intermittent.
Do you support Urdu?
All form content is customisable text, so you can run studies in English, Urdu, or both. Many Pakistani sites keep English forms for sponsor review while adding Urdu instructions for site staff.
How is pricing shown in Rupees?
This page shows PKR pricing figures configured for local budgeting. Your subscription invoice is issued in US dollars on the plan you select; see the pricing section below.
Do we need a credit card for the free trial?
No. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card and no commitment, which lets your CRO or hospital validate the platform against a real pilot study before subscribing.
