BOSTON, Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PAREXEL International (NASDAQ: PRXL), a leading global biopharmaceutical services organization, today announced that clinical technology companies CRF Health and Clinical Ink have joined its Perceptive® Partner Program. Through the program, technology, consulting, reseller and training companies, as well as contract research organizations (CROs), can enhance and broaden their services to biopharmaceutical customers by leveraging the Perceptive® MyTrials eClinical platform along with clinical and technical support services.

This gives their sponsor customers efficient access to clinical data and applications from a single source, allowing them to more efficiently and effectively manage critical trial activities.
“To better ensure the safety and timeliness of their trials, our customers are increasingly seeking efficient approaches to patient screening, enrollment and randomization,” said Rachael Wyllie, CEO of CRF Health. “As a Perceptive partner, we can address these needs by integrating our electronic Clinical Outcome Assessments [eCOA] offering with Perceptive MyTrials randomization and electronic data capture technologies.”
Ed Seguine, CEO of Clinical Ink,said, “Integrating solutions from Perceptive® MyTrials into our SureSource® clinical platform will provide sponsors with proven trial management solutions in a user-friendly tablet PC system. This presents a powerful combination of functionality and mobility.”
As study designs become increasingly complex, sponsors are relying on eClinical technologies to manage protocols and evolving regulatory requirements.
