Ahmedabad-based Veeda Clinical Research (CR), a fast growing clinical research organization with presence in Europe, India and USA, has implemented Clintrial, a clinical data management tool to strengthen its data management backbone.
Clintrial will provide Veeda easy integration with other systems in the clinical trial space resulting in secure and faster access to time- sensitive data. The implementation will enable Veeda to focus on its core competencies in delivering high quality data and simultaneously pave the way forward for new CDM capabilities.
Clintrial was jointly implemented at Veeda CR by Phase Forward and IBM India. The implementation process included IBM installing Clintrial, configuring a pilot clinical study, providing validation services to meet regulatory requirements, providing support to the team and project managing the overall implementation. Product vendor Phase Forward provided training to all users at Veeda CR s global units.
Marie-Paule, head of Biometrics at Veeda said, The selection of Clintrial was based on its proven track record in improving efficiency and thereby accelerating drug development timelines. Easy integration of external data enables us to provide the sponsor faster access to fully validated data.
Apurva Shah, co-group managing director and co-founder of Veeda said, We would like to capitalize on 18 years of biometrics experience of our Belgian unit and expand our Indian team substantially for offering biometric services like data management, statistical analysis (including programming) and medical writing. Clintrial will enhance our clinical research data quality and optimize our capability and help us meet our business goals faster .
On completion of the implementation process, Sandip Patel, managing partner, global business services, IBM India and South Asia, said, In order to enhance competitive advantage, it is critical to optimize the value of information assets in industries like clinical research.
Jon Carrano, general manager of Phase Forward Australia and regional director said, The experience and capability of Veeda s key personnel resulted in a very efficient implementation, facilitated by our well proven technology transfer and validation processes. Our regional consultants ensured that Veeda s global teams were provided end-user training and a thorough understanding of the products functionality .
