, a growing digital clinical research organization, announces that Small Bone Innovations (SBi) has awarded four new projects to the company during the first quarter of 2009. These projects primarily include electronic data capture (EDC) and data management services.
 
SBi offers a broad, clinically proven portfolio of products and technologies to treat trauma and diseases in small bones and joints and has recently acquired the S.T.A.R. total ankle replacement system. “In selecting Clinipace, we found a partner who understands the culture and financial needs of a growing medical device firm. We share a common vision for more project visibility and appreciate their approach to service delivery,” said James O’Connor Vice President, Worldwide Regulatory, Quality and Clinical Affairs, Surgeons Ethics and Compliance at SBi.  
 
“We are investing in multiple clinical projects. This requires a select group of clinical and regulatory service providers to work closely together with SBi.  We turned to Clinipace to serve as the glue to hold the projects together from a data management perspective.   Having complete real-time visibility into study-level information is critical to our success,” continued O’Connor.
 
"We’re excited to work with SBi, and we believe our approach to Right-Sized technology-driven service will contribute to the success of these projects,” said Jeff Williams, Chief Executive Officer at Clinipace.
