DATATRAK Announces Next Release of eClinical Product Suite

Company continues to leverage efficiencies of its unified platform, expanding the richness, ease and detailed nature of clinical trial information through site performance metrics and standard reporting capabilities
    CLEVELAND, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DATATRAK International, Inc. (Nasdaq: DATA), a technology and services company focused on global eClinical solutions for the clinical trials industry, today announced the newest release of its DATATRAK eClinical(TM) product suite.  This release of the Company's unified platform for global clinical trials, having successfully passed internal testing and validation requirements was placed into production on Saturday, September 27, 2008.        
    Several significant incremental advancements are represented by this version of DATATRAK eClinical.  First and foremost is the ease with which extensively detailed information about clinical trials can be obtained with this product suite.  An example of the information that is automatically tracked by this platform includes metrics on investigative site performance.  Such information is critical to clinical trial sponsors when deciding where to place specific clinical studies as efficient enrollment of patients is often the reason why clinical trial timeframes are delayed and projections are missed, resulting in an increased overall cost for research and development.  With this version of DATATRAK eClinical, as long as this platform is consistently used, clinical trial sponsors will be able to characterize the historic quality of a research site before the clinical trial is started, potentially avoiding a key delay factor in drug and device development worldwide.   
    This version of DATATRAK eClinical now contains capabilities for Japanese/Kanji-character translation, making this platform more readily accepted in the third largest clinical trial market in the world.  The clinical trials recently won by NTT DATA in Japan will initiate enrollment during the Fourth Quarter of 2008 with this new release.

    "Our unified architectural platform continues to allow for efficient and rapid development and expansion of our product suite capabilities, probably more than any other software in this industry," stated Dr. Jeffrey A. Green, Chief Executive Officer of DATATRAK International, Inc.  "Importantly, we can accomplish all of this without having to integrate with unrelated applications, thereby saving our customers time and money from alternative approaches.  We believe the capability to quantify in an effortless manner quantitative statistics on site metrics and performance in clinical trials will be increasingly viewed as important by our customers and represents a future differentiating capability within this market."
