FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TORONTO, ON – January 29, 2014 – SCiAN Services, Inc., a North American Clinical Data Management – Biostatistics CRO and EDC solution provider announces that Angiochem, a clinical-stage biotechnology company has selected SCiAN as its preferred provider for data management, biostatistics and eClinical systems starting with its upcoming studies. The agreement converts SCiAN’s previous ad hoc relationship with Angiochem, to one in which SCiAN will support its customer with data management and biostatistics through its advanced eClinical platform, EDCpro.
“We value our partnership with Angiochem,” said Ms. St. Clare Chung, Director of Biostatistics & CDM, at SCiAN Services. “Key to this clinical development collaboration is our ability to extend preferred pricing to Angiochem, which results from greater efficiencies accrued through multiple trials run on the same eClinical platform, EDCpro.”
“Biotech drug developers are increasingly looking for ways to conserve resources,” said Dr. Miklos Schulz, President and CEO of SCiAN Services. “Preferred vendor partnerships offer up the opportunity for bottom-line savings, while locking in available expertise and achieving the benefit of long-term knowledge growth in their clinical development programs, representing an even greater return on the initial cost saving.”
