| CONSHOHOCKEN, PA – Dec 6, 2005 – ePharmaLearning, the leading provider of clinical site activation and online training services for the pharmaceutical industry announced that it has recently activated over 50,000 clinical researchers for over 600 studies it has conducted since 2001. ePharmaLearning helps pharmaceutical companies improve the way sites are selected, trained, activated and supported to start clinical trials and enroll patients. By focusing on these 4 areas, ePharmaLearning helps 18 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies improve site performance and quality while reducing cycle times - at a fraction of the cost of traditional service providers. “This is a significant achievement that we are very proud to have achieved in such a short time. We have an excellent team who are passionate about improving the way studies are launched” stated Lance Converse, ePharmaLearning’s Founder and CEO. In today’s technology-driven clinical trials environment, site staff needs to learn how to use a hand-full of new technologies in addition to learning more complex protocols and GCP regulations for each study. Typically this training is conducted at in-person Investigators’ Meetings, however this has proven to be costly and ineffective from a training perspective, resulting in poor quality data, GCP and protocol violations, and study delays. To compound the problem, sites are issued 5 or more userIDs and passwords for each study to access the various technologies required to conduct each trial. ePharmaLearning harnesses the power of the latest eLearning and portal technologies, with clinical study and instructional design services, to provide sites with a single place to go online for all of their study needs. Through ePharmaLearning’s clinical study portals, sites can access all of their clinical study and regulatory documents, live and on-demand study training, trial management tools, etc. using a single userID and password. “Through the training and activation of more than 50,000 clinical researchers, we have developed a proven process that accelerates and improves study launch. The sites we recruit and train have the right patient populations to meet their enrollment goal, clearly understand the protocol, study procedures and trial technologies, and have demonstrated they have the capacity to succeed in the study we are conducting.” added Converse. “By focusing on these important aspects of study launch, ePharmaLearning’s helps put the basic building blocks in place to help get clinical trials off on the right foot”.. |
