Posted on: Wednesday, 21 January 2009, 07:00 CST

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- News Facts

-- Organizations spanning the life sciences industry -- including biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CROs) and pharmaceutical manufacturers -- are increasingly turning to Oracle(R) Remote Data Capture (RDC) 4.5.3 (http://www.oracle.com/industries/life_sciences/remote-data-capture.html)to conduct trials more efficiently and effectively.

-- Boehringer Ingelheim (http://www.boehringer-ingelheim.com/corporate/home/home.asp), Bristol-Myers Squibb (http://www.bms.com/landing/data/index.html), ICON (http://www.iconclinical.com/), LEO Pharma (http://www.leo-pharma.com/w-site/leo/docs.nsf), PPD (http://www.ppdi.com/) and Quintiles Transnational (http://www.quintiles.com/) are among a rapidly growing group of customers using Oracle RDC 4.5.3 to help increase efficiency in clinical trials data collection, improve data quality and enhance decision making.

-- Oracle RDC 4.5.3, the latest release of Oracle's best-in-class electronic data capture (EDC) offering, is completely Web-based -- with zero client footprint for the HTML data entry window -- which enables improved global access and performance.

-- This enables life sciences organizations to conduct global clinical studies more cost effectively using paper, electronic data capture, or hybrid methods.

-- The Oracle EDC application helps meet the needs of trial sponsors as well as investigative site personnel by providing a simplified user interface and eliminating site software installation. This helps to increase staff efficiency by allowing investigators to quickly locate patient visits and case report forms (CRFs).

-- Oracle RDC 4.5.3 is integrated with Oracle Clinical (http://www.oracle.com/industries/life_sciences/oracle-clinical.html), the industry's leading clinical data management system, and is an integral component of Oracle's extensive suite of clinical trial management applications.
