New CTMS & EDC Product From Advanced Clinical Software Helps Level The 'Speed To Market' Playing Field
StudyManager Sponsor Edition ensures efficient clinical trial management for CROs and pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech companies
Seattle, WA - Advanced Clinical Software (ACS), a healthcare IT company and creator of StudyManager, a wildly popular clinical trial management software (CTMS) program, has expanded upon its flagship product to address a market whose clinical trial needs have heretofore been unmet by software.
StudyManager Sponsor Edition (SE) automates the entire clinical trial process for sponsors of such endeavors – namely, Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies – helping to ensure efficient, organized and cost-effective research. Before the development of StudyManager SE, clinical trial management for most of the thousands of companies in these spaces has been prohibitively expensive, preventing promising research from ever being realized and stifling untold numbers of medical and pharmaceutical advancements. By providing clinical data collection, study management, and real-time interaction among study administrators, study monitors, and site users in one package, StudyManager SE improves overall performance by expediting operations and reducing costs.
"I root for the underdog," said Bruce Schatzman, founder and CEO of 13-year-old ACS. "Most middle-tier research sponsors we're addressing with our new product have been dwarfed for years by Big Pharma, which has the resources to purchase high-priced CTMS and EDC [Electronic Data Capture] programs. We hope to level the playing field a bit by introducing affordable, robust technology that will significantly cut management and implementation costs, making efficient clinical research a reality that was previously unattainable."
In enthusiastic response, three companies have already purchased StudyManager SE: Perlegen Sciences, a Mountain View, Calif. company that identifies clinically relevant patterns of genetic variation; Maryland Medical Research Institute, a not-for-profit CRO; and Janix, a Newport Beach, Calif. CRO.
StudyManager SE is the newest product development from ACS and complements the world's most widely used suite of clinical trial management products for research sites, which includes StudyManager CTMS and EDC.
