ClinPhone, the global leader in clinical technology solutions, has been appointed as the preferred supplier of randomization and trial supply management services by the Japanese affiliate of leading pharmaceutical company, Bayer. ClinPhone won this major new contract in Japan with Bayer Yakuhin Ltd, shortly after opening its first Asia Pacific office in Melbourne, Australia. The contract award was confirmed in February 2007 and the project went live successfully and on schedule.
Under the terms of the agreement ClinPhone will supply Bayer Yakuhin Ltd with services powered by Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology in a key Phase III study taking place in Japan. ClinPhone technology has set the standard for clinical trial management systems built on experience across thousands of Phase II-IV clinical trials.
This contract with Bayer Yakuhin Ltd represents another example of a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company taking advantage of ClinPhone’s industry leading IVR clinical technology to manage the randomization and supply chain logistics involved in delivering a highly complex clinical trial. ClinPhone delivers technology solutions for several major Japanese pharmaceutical clients globally and this project represents a major expansion into the Japanese market itself. In addition to Japanese, ClinPhone has experience of providing its applications to leading global pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients in over 70 languages and dialects worldwide. As the industry’s leading Clinical Technology Organization, ClinPhone has accumulated more than 15 years’ experience in providing telephone and web-based trial management solutions in over 2000 clinical studies across more than 80 countries.
Ian Jennings, Senior VP of Global Business Development said, “Further to the opening of ClinPhone’s Asia Pacific offices at the end of 2006, we are delighted to have been awarded this contract. ClinPhone has established offices in this region in anticipation of the growth in Clinical R&D activity over the coming decade, evidenced by this significant award.”
Kevin Wightman, Business Development Director, Asia Pacific Region added “This important project demonstrates our commitment to serving our clients in this region. The location of the offices in Melbourne means that ClinPhone is able to provide a more consultative service across the Asia Pacific. The availability of business, technical and operational expertise in Asian business hours will really complement our established 24/7 global service and enable us to focus on the needs of our customers as we continue to strengthen our presence in the region.”
