Virtify Addresses Global Disclosure Complexity for Life Sciences With New Software Release

Virtify, Inc.

announced the upcoming release of its new Clinical Trials Registration & Results software product, CTRR Enterprise 2.0, part of the

Virtify Enterprise Content Compliance (ECC)

software suite . CTRR Enterprise 2.0 is the a disclosure solution that automates compliance through dynamic, real-time validation of built-in rules derived from

www.clinicaltrials.gov

, the FDAAA-mandated repository for clinical trials registration and results. In addition, CTRR Enterprise 2.0 is architected to support new PRS rules as well as new international registries.
 
New laws and mandates in the U.S. and across the globe have increased public disclosure requirements for clinical trials and their results. In the U.S., mandated submissions to

www.clinicaltrials.gov

are bound by 2,700 unique rules regarding clinical trial registration and 2,500 additional rules for results postings; this totals 5,200 for the U.S. alone. Many countries are also establishing registries with their own deadlines and rules including the European Clinical Trials Database (EudraCT) and others.
 
“Any life sciences company with a global presence is preparing for a veritable administrative nightmare to keep pace with the continually changing regulatory climate. The complex and numerous rules governing disclosure make it a daily struggle to comply in a timely, efficient and profitable manner,” said Satish Tadikonda, president and CEO of Virtify. “Virtify’s new CTRR Enterprise Edition will help to enable companies to maintain full and timely compliance with these ever-changing global mandates on a single, unified platform.”
 
Complicating this evolving regulatory environment is the submissions process itself. “Accurately inputting what could be thousands of data points for a single clinical trial result is virtually impossible, particularly when we must abide by rules that can change without notice,” said Shahid Ahmed, co-president of Nexus Pharmaceuticals and a Virtify customer. “This is a real issue for us, since timely and accurate submissions are critical for securing a first-to-market advantage. One inaccuracy can delay approval for months.”   
 
Virtify’s CTRR Enterprise 2.0 is designed to address U.S. disclosure rules today and emerging global registries, including EudraCT in Europe as well as others in Germany, Croatia, Brazil, India and China. This capability is made possible through Virtify’s architecture and

XML Rules InjectionTM

technology which enables alignment with new registries on top of a single code base without modifying source code.
