News Facts

  • Supporting health sciences organizations' commitment to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of their products, Oracle today announced the availability of Oracle® Argus Safety 7.0, a market-leading integrated global adverse events (AE) management and regulatory reporting solution.
  • From a single instance of the solution, the newest release enables health sciences organizations and contract research organizations (CROs) to maintain separation among and securely manage safety data from firms across the complex network of customers and business partners required for product development in the health sciences industry.
  • This innovative approach eliminates the operational requirements and IT costs associated with setting up and managing several instances of a traditional safety solution in an enterprise, while maintaining stringent security controls and facilitating compliance with U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11 electronic record and signature requirements.
  • To deliver even greater efficiency, Oracle Argus Safety 7.0 also features new capabilities, such as standardized configurations and rules management, as well as centralized coding-dictionary management, all of which enable rapid set up and maintenance of new safety datasets, regardless of their source. In addition, the solution reduces the resources required for ongoing maintenance through a single, global user management and administration tool.
  • With its new extensible portal, Oracle Health Sciences Argus Safety 7.0 also helps organizations establish and manage organizational safety priorities appropriately across all products and stakeholders from a single interface. The solution's role-based workflows and work lists help ensure that users are aware of overall priorities and focused on the most critical events.
  • Oracle Argus Safety 7.0 is part of Oracle's set of comprehensive solutions to manage pharmacovigilance, signal detection and proactive risk management across the product lifecycle.
