Premier Research Group Limited, the international clinical research services company, announced that it has implemented Oracle(R) Remote Data Capture Onsite 4.5.3, the enhanced version of Oracle's EDC application featuring new functionality to meet the needs of trial sponsors as well as investigative site personnel.

Premier Research has a long tradition of Oracle Clinical data management as an early adopter of the platform having first licensed it in 1997. Our global data operation team of more than 245 professionals has managed more than 350 studies using Oracle Clinical including 180 EDC studies.

The system's zero footprint deployment allows sites to rely solely on a web browser without loading or maintaining additional software streamlining system and site management. Electronic case report form (eCRF) pages, developed in HTML, open in two to three seconds. The system requires fewer key strokes to navigate pages, displays all information (captured data, discrepancy and audit information) on a single CRF screen, and allows multiple pages to be opened simultaneously. In addition, the re-architected patient data report offers significant performance gains and is better tailored for use in electronic submissions.

"Oracle RDC Onsite 4.5.3 provides us with powerful new functionality increasing the productivity and efficiency of investigative sites that will result in faster, more accurate data entry and accelerate the clinical trial process for our clients," said Walt Wunder, Executive Director, Global Data Operations for Premier Research.
