Exco
InTouch Partners with Logos Technologies
to Improve Patient Recruitment in Clinical
Trials |
13th
May, 2008
Exco
InTouch, the leading mobile messaging provider
for the pharmaceutical industry, announces that
it has partnered with London based Logos Technologies,
experts in early phase EDC and Phase I site automation,
to develop an integrated system which speeds
up the patient recruitment process. |

The
integration of Exco InTouchís short messaging
service (SMS) technology, ATLAS™, with ALPHADASÆ,
Logos Technologiesí proprietary electronic
data capture (EDC) system, enables clinical
trials sponsors and investigators to quickly
identify, contact and assess relevant patients
for early phase studies.
The
collaboration between Logos Technologies
and Exco InTouch has been
fuelled by the demand from sponsors for a
seamless, fully integrated system for patient
recruitment. The combination of these two
industry-leading systems enables biopharmaceutical
clients and study personnel to search for
relevant patients in ALPHADAS and immediately
communicate with selected patients via SMS
using ATLAS. Patients are able to respond
to certain questions using their own mobile
phone, and these responses are sent directly
to the ALPHADAS system, allowing recruitment
staff to make immediate decisions regarding
a patientís eligibility to participate in
a study.
This
fully integrated system also offers benefits
for patients already enrolled
on studies, as
the ALPHADAS system enables sponsors and
investigators to send protocol-specific questions,
events
or reminders to patients using ATLAS. Sponsor/patient
interaction using Exco InTouchís SMS technology
has been proven to significantly improve
patient compliance and retention throughout
the life
of a clinical study. |

"Drug
development companies are looking for faster
access to data both for the recruitment process
and during the life of a study," says Tim
Davis, Co-Founder of Exco InTouch. "The combination
of using ALPHADAS to search for eligible
patients and using ATLAS to communicate with
and elicit responses from these patients
enables sponsors to speed up recruitment
drives, ultimately optimising product-to-market
time."
Giles
Wilson, Business and Operations Director
for Logos Technologies, comments: "We understand
that early phase clinical trials require a complete
and fully integrated solution to deal with the
common issues with patient recruitment. The integration
of our ALPHADAS system with ATLAS from Exco InTouch
offers sponsors and investigators a faster and
more streamlined method of patient recruitment.
Following this success, we are now looking into
further system integration that will enable remote
data capture via any mobile phone."
ATLAS from Exco InTouch is a proprietary system
on which SMS applications can be built, run,
and integrated with a wide range of existing
healthcare management systems. ATLAS technology
is already used to create global, regulatory
compliant messaging services for patient recruitment
in a wide range of phase I clinics. ALPHADAS
from Logos Technologies is an early phase web-enabled
EDC system and a clinical trial site automation
tool which has been successfully used by life
sciences organisations for over a decade.
