SciAn Introduces a Ground-Breaking Cost Effective Technology for Managing Clinical Data in EDC Oncology Trials

TORONTO, ON – October 24, 2011 – SciAn Services, Inc., an EDC solution provider for 15 years and CRO is pleased to announce the launch of its monthly subscription EDC data management solution. Biotech, pharmaceutical companies and academic research groups have been asking for more cost-effective options in managing their clinical study data. The availability of SciAn’s database libraries and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) technology now delivers on that demand without any start- up costs and on a month-by-month fee basis for the duration of the clinical trial, in a ground-breaking new way of running clinical studies.

Dr. Miklos Schulz, CEO of SciAn Services, Inc. acknowledged that: “while EDC is a mainstream method for collecting clinical study data, the industry has long struggled with the high cost of database configuration and running trials on expensive platforms. With indication specific libraries that we now have available, the old cost barriers have virtually been eliminated”.

St. Clare Chung, Director, Biostatistics and Data Management, added: “Through the use of SaaS technology and SciAn’s long-standing experience in cancer trials, we’re able to leverage an extensive library of oncology databases in providing fully configured clinical data management solutions through a monthly subscription service model.” She goes on to emphasize that: “The old model of high start-up database configuration costs followed by even higher system licensing and service fees are gone.”
