Integrated EDC and Imaging Core Lab Services Improve Efficiency, Quality and Data Visibility for Life Science Companies
ORLANDO, FL, April 28, 2009 – Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BITI) and its Phoenix Data Systems division today announced that they are re-branding the two companies under the name of BioClinica (the “Company”), thereby completing the final stages of an operational merger that started a year ago. With a legacy of more than two decades of experience and industry leadership, BioClinica combines electronic data capture (EDC) services and medical image management to offer a single, integrated solution that increases efficiency and decreases costs for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies through all stages of clinical trials. BioClinica, as well, continues to provide traditional EDC and imaging core lab services to its customers. The Company will be at CRO Partnerships, April 28-30 (booth 408), showcasing the capabilities of its integrated solution.
“The new brand better represents what our customers require to succeed, integrated solutions that track and manage more of their clinical data,” said Mark Weinstein, President and CEO of BioClinica. “The speed and accuracy of this combination helps to mend the current broken clinical trial process. We look forward to extending our Imaging Core Lab leadership with comprehensive EDC services, and helping life science companies to manage their clinical trials with greater efficiency, quality and improved data visibility.”
Processing and managing clinical data is a costly and time-consuming challenge for today’s life science companies. Medical imaging technologies generate more data than ever before, requiring even more resources to manage and turn it into useful information. As the volume and the complexity of patient data increases exponentially, more expertise and better tools are required to manage this data-from study start-up and initiation through data collection and the delivery of final results. EDC is essential to this process, providing a central hub to coordinate and organize the collection and dissemination of clean data. Integrated reporting enables customers to see the results faster than conventional methods, offering real-time analytics that make data instantly available to view or report. Integrated delivery eliminates the need for time consuming and costly data reconciliation at the end of a study. With these capabilities, BioClinica delivers next generation clinical outsourcing results, through improved and accelerated clinical trial processes.
“We believe that the combination of Bio-Imaging and Phoenix Data Systems as BioClinica creates a powerful new voice in the clinical services space by combining superior customer service and expert consultative support for data image management and EDC. With a legacy of more than two successful decades, BioClinica has an established history of reliability where many have failed. The Company is financially stable, with no debt, and a substantial backlog of signed business. All of these attributes attest to a Company with a strong foundation as well as the experience and knowledge to reshape the industry,” continued Weinstein.
Stockholders of the Company will vote at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting to formally change the name of Bio-Imaging Technologies, Inc. to BioClinica. In the meantime, the Company will operate under the BioClinica d/b/a.
