Nextrials, Formedix Integrate Trial Design Tools

Nextrials, Inc. has integrated its EDC and clinical trial data management platform Prism with the study design tools offered by Formedix, which includes database design tools based on CDISC data standards. Through the partnership, Prism users can now build customized databases designed to reduce the overall length and cost of clinical trials by expediting study start up.

“We are always looking for ways to add features and functionality to Prism, so when our clients asked for the ability to build customized databases in-house, we researched the most effective way to meet this need,” said James Rogers, chief executive officer and co-founder of Nextrials. “By partnering with Formedix, we’ve given users the best in the industry: a powerful but easy-to-use tool to design clinical trial databases that includes the ability to automatically generateCRFs, database design specifications and create submission-ready CRFs. The Formedix design toolset also enables companies to establish and use large libraries of CDISC ODM content which can be dragged and dropped from study to study, kick-starting a sponsor’s study design.”

“One of Formedix’s goals is to build alliances with all of the major EDC vendors in the clinical trial industry,” said Mark Wheeldon, founder and chief executive officer of Formedix. “By partnering with Nextrials, we foster another pipeline to small- to mid-range research organizations that could benefit from our product features, particularly the re-use of libraries of forms, items and codelists for creating databases. We look forward to working with Nextrials’ customers.”
