Veeda Oncology Selects TrialWorks® by ClinPhone to Further Strengthen Clinical Trial Management Capabilities

(Nottingham UK, May 2008). ClinPhone, the world’s largest Clinical Technology Organization (CTO), announces that Veeda Oncology, a specialist CRO, has selected TrialWorks® by ClinPhone to further strengthen its clinical trial management capabilities.

Veeda Oncology http://www.veedaoncology.com, a subsidiary of Veeda Clinical Research, will implement TrialWorks® across its four major sites in India, France, Germany and the USA, providing international team members with real-time, immediate access to the company’s clinical trial management data and reports.

Speaking about the selection of TrialWorks®, Kathy Squillace, Vice President of Global Clinical Operations at Veeda Oncology, stated, “One of our primary goals when establishing Veeda Oncology was to ensure we had a state-of-the-art infrastructure in place to effectively track, manage and report on our clinical data globally. Because our sites are spread geographically, we needed a web-based system that was intuitive and easy to use, while still offering robust functionality. TrialWorks® emerged as the leader for us in this regard.”

Veeda Oncology had initially approached ten vendors, of which three matched their full user requirements. As well as the competitive price, it was the user interface and monitoring module that appealed to Veeda Oncology and ultimately led to their selection of TrialWorks®. The monitoring module permits monitors to upload data remotely and produce monitoring reports in Microsoft® Word format. TrialWorks®, which is a web-based hosted or licensed solution, has strong functionality and is well-known for being very user-friendly and intuitive.

Squillace also added, “We’re confident that TrialWorks® will not only save time for our monitors and site personnel, but will also provide significant support to our project managers, particularly in areas such as the tracking and management of investigator payments.”

TrialWorks® is a powerful, user-friendly application designed to track, manage and report on virtually all day-to-day study management information. TrialWorks® provides comprehensive trial management data, ranging from high-level consolidated metrics for senior managers to meaningful, drill-down reports to support project teams. The underlying relational database allows information to be grouped and filtered at various levels including trial, country and site/investigator.

Ian Jennings, Senior Vice President of Business Development at ClinPhone commented, “TrialWorks® is a proven solution and has been used for thousands of trials by companies around the world. By implementing TrialWorks® across Veeda Oncology sites and providing unrivaled customer service and support, we aim to offer the benefits of easier, faster and more efficient clinical trial management.”
