New Haven, CT & Philadelphia, PA – Cognitive science company, Cogstate Ltd and Clinical Ink, the leading provider of eSource and patient engagement technologies, today announced they have formalized their long-standing relationship with a strategic alliance that delivers enhanced tablet-based neuropsychological assessments for CNS clinical trials. The alliance combines, in a single solution, the scientific and adult learning expertise provided by Cogstate with the market-leading eSource data capture platform from Clinical Ink. “Our goal is to transform the entire rater experience with process-enabling technologies that lead to better assessments, so a partnership with the eSource pioneers at Clinical Ink was the clear choice for advancing that objective”, commented Cogstate CEO, Brad O’Connor. “This is one solution from two market leaders, so it is very much aligned to the ‘best-of-breed’ approach that many sponsors are taking for their outsourcing strategies; particularly in the area of CNS where signal detection is so challenging and endpoint quality assurance is so critical.” “The benefits of eSource for CNS research are dramatic,” stated Ed Seguine, CEO, Clinical Ink. “Combining Cogstate’s therapeutic expertise with our SureSource® platform, which directly captures data in the moment during the patient visit, promises to improve protocol execution. Researchers can focus more attention on the patient and the ratings when workflow and scoring are automated. This is an incredible time for CNS research and Clinical Ink is delighted to partner with a therapeutic leader like Cogstate on this advancement.” This joint solution delivers important advantages to sponsors seeking to transcend traditional paper-and-pencil assessment scales in their clinical trials, including:
