ClinPhone acquires DataLabs

Global clinical technology solutions provider ClinPhone has acquired DataLabs, a premier electronic data capture (EDC) vendor. This makes ClinPhone the first company in the biopharmaceutical sector to offer a comprehensive suite of clinical trial management and data capture systems.

ClinPhone has already commenced the integra-tion of the acquired EDC technology with its industry renowned solutions, including randomisation and trial supply management (IVR and IWR), clinical trials management software (CTMS) and electronic patient peported outcomes (ePRO) services. All DataLabs employees at its current headquarters in Irvine, CA, and its satellite operations office in Conshohocken, PA, will integrate into the ClinPhone organisation.

Since its inception in 1999, DataLabs has de-veloped a robust spectrum of software designed to streamline and simplify the data collection process, while promoting greater data integrity. These products include electronic data capture, site management, end-user training and validation and compliance tools.

Both ClinPhone and DataLabs will seek to harness the combined power of their integration products to facilitate the sharing of information between disparate systems and dramatically reduce the time, cost and risk of integration projects.

'The assimilation of an established EDC product with our leading suite of IVR, IWR, CTMS and ePRO solutions gives sponsors a choice that they haven't previously enjoyed,' said ClinPhone ceo Steve Kent, We are already working with clients to manage all other aspects of their clinical trial and we can now collect submission data on their behalf too.'
