AIDC Solution: Cardium Therapeutics Chooses OmniComm Systems Inc. Over Competing EDC Vendors As Its Web-Based Data Collection And Management Solution

OmniComm Systems, Inc., one of the fastest growing companies in the EDC marketplace, recently announced that Cardium Therapeutics of San Diego, CA has selected the TrialMaster EDC solution for conducting a Phase 3 study in women which will evaluate Generx (alferminogene tadenovec) as a potential treatment for myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood flow within the heart muscle).

Generx is considered the first and only DNA-based cardiovascular therapeutic to be advanced to Phase 3 and is believed to be the only current Phase 3 product candidate for stable angina, a chronic medical condition affecting millions of patients in the U.S. and worldwide. "During a clinical trial there can be significant challenges in getting trial data when you want it and in the format that you need it," said Anthony Andrasfay, Vice President of Clinical Operations for Cardium. "The TrialMaster EDC solution provides us with an intuitive and easy to use export tool that simplifies the process. Integration is also very important to us and with the TrialMaster solution we've been able to easily integrate with our IVRS solution to manage enrollment and randomization."

OmniComm's TrialMaster is an easy to use and flexible web-based EDC and trial management solution. Clients like Cardium can benefit from the feature-rich functionality inherent in TrialMaster. And they can conduct their clinical trials more effectively using software and services that optimize the efficiency and accuracy of data collection, while reducing the costs associated with paper-based clinical trials.

"It is a tribute to OmniComm's dedication to providing unmatched customer focused EDC solutions that Cardium has chosen TrialMaster for their data management needs," said Cornelis F. Wit, President and CEO of OmniComm. Our team is proud to be partnering with Cardium as they work to bring breakthrough products to the marketplace. Our TrialMaster solution provides companies such as Cardium with a flexible and cost effective solution to securely collect, validate, analyze and transmit clinical study data."
