Protocol Manager and AdWatch are proprietary software systems developed and supported by WBS. Protocol Manager increases the efficiency of communications between parties involved in clinical trials by allowing access to global clinical trial data electronically, eliminating the need to transcribe, mail and fax traditional paper forms. AdWatch insures patient safety by automatically collecting adverse events from patient data in Protocol Manager and alerting professional monitors when adverse events occur. AdWatch then populates the MedWatch forms with the information required by government regulatory agencies and electronically transmits the forms to the FDA. “We are pleased to be a part of the product development process,” said Michael Regentz, Winchester's Managing Director. “Winchester has the business knowledge and is committed to insure success of this effort to streamline clinical trials management.” Click here to learn more on Winchester's success with Averion. DOV Pharmaceutical - DOV Pharmaceutical adds global reach, cuts costs, lowers risks with the advanced clinical trial management system Protocol Manager™. (15 Mar 2006) A clinical trial management solution from IBM and Winchester Business Systems improves collaboration, communication among researchers and managers. Let’s say your company is a growing U.S. biopharmaceutical and has potential drug therapies in development that may have strong applicability in overseas markets. Suddenly you’re looking at managing clinical trials with patients, doctors and researchers at 50 different sites across the globe, in places like India, Israel and Guatemala, as well as in the United States. A domestic clinical trial by itself (without global sites), is a complex and delicate process—keeping track of a host of activities and milestones, keeping them on time and in compliance with the stringent oversight of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A report by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development has cited clinical trials as the main contributor to the upward cost spiral in bringing a new prescription drug to market in the United States. The cost to bring a new drug to market now averages more than $880 million and extends over 10 to 15 years. You’ve managed previous clinical trials using basic IT support and paper-based documentation: spreadsheets, conventional e-mail, faxes, overnight mail and the like. Now, the global coordination will be vastly more complicated, and any misstep could have costly consequences in delaying FDA approval. Decisive wins That was the challenge facing DOV Pharmaceutical, Inc., of Hackensack, New Jersey in late 2004. DOV chose Protocol Manager™, a clinical trial management solution (CTMS) from IBM and Winchester Business Systems, Inc.. Meeting the challenge demonstrated how IBM and Winchester brought exactly the right focus to a customer problem and also led to marketplace wins for IBM and Winchester.
