Full-service CRO (contract research organization) CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services is expanding its use of Medidata’s Clinical Cloud platform to improve operational efficiencies, data accessibility and decision-making processes for its clinical trials.

Under the expanded partnership, which includes implementing Medidata’s integrated solutions for electronic data capture, clinical trial management and medical coding systems, CTI will look to optimize clinical trial processes, improve data accessibility and efficiently track study progress.

“By streamlining trial operations, improving data input and output, and providing better trial oversight, the Medidata platform allows us to conduct faster, more insightful research—and ultimately help our sponsors bring more effective therapies to the acutely ill patients they serve,” Kevin Schwarz, CTI’s COO, said.

CTI has been working with Medidata since 2012.

Louis Minham, senior director of IT at CTI, added: “Incorporating the Medidata platform in our clinical trials has enabled our study teams to be much more productive… the unified platform lets us view comprehensive trial information in one central location and be more effective in how we extract, share and analyze data—allowing for faster and smarter business decisions.”
