Intrasphere Technologies Announces Pharmaceutical Enterprise Information Portal.

Model of 'The Pharmaceutical Channel' Demonstrates Clinical Trial Management

Application

NEW YORK, July 18 /PRNewswire/ --

Intrasphere Technologies today announced the launch of The Pharmaceutical Channel (TPC), an enterprise information portal for the pharmaceutical industry.

The Pharmaceutical Channel provides a single focal point for company and non-company resources by aggregating business information, linking users to public websites and syndicated data and integrating back office applications.

TPC is capable of linking investigators, CRAs, medical monitors, clinical managers and product managers within a single, central electronic environment that integrates multiple clinical development technologies with a broad range of business applications.

Among other benefits to pharmaceutical companies, The Pharmaceutical Channel is a dynamic clinical trial management tool for all key stakeholders in the clinical trial management process.

Clinical Trial Management Applications

Clinical trial management applications available under The Pharmaceutical Channel include:

-- Clinical Trial Management -- TPC provides access to a rich matrix of

information concerning enrollment, payments, project milestones,

discrepancies and budget information. TPC's sophisticated security

model supports discrete views of the data by individual audiences.

-- Electronic Data Capture (EDC) -- TPC enables integrated access to a

full range of EDC technology. Links into the EDC database allow TPC

to surface critical data such as safety issues. The links also

facilitate cross-platform reporting and enable automatic notification

triggers via email or phone. Intrasphere also provides EDC process

and integration services as a separate offering.

-- Clinical Data Management -- Intrasphere integrates clinical data

management systems with other mission-critical applications used in

the clinical trial process. These applications run transparently

inside TPC, facilitating sophisticated real-time data mining and

reporting in textual or graphical format.

-- On-line Collaboration -- TPC enables live, on-line meetings between

all players in the clinical trials chain. This interactive

collaboration, available through video, voice and application sharing,

leads to multiple benefits including greater participation by offsite

participants (internal and external), maintaining project continuity

when clinical professionals change and creating audit trails

monitoring usage and performance to validate learning in support of

the Guidance and 21 CFR Part 11.

-- Document Management and Secure Document Exchange -- TPC incorporates

both document management and secure document exchange technologies

from best-of-breed vendors. These applications are crucial to

providing the manageable, auditable services required by new

regulatory reporting standards as well as adhering to best practices.

A full demonstration of The Pharmaceutical Channel is available by contacting Joel Hoffmann, Intrasphere Technologies Inc., 212 937-8270 or joel.hoffman@Intrasphere.com.
