"Many top global pharmaceutical companies and CROs rely on the IMPACT CTMS solution to plan, administer and track every aspect of their clinical trials," said Nick Richards, Vice President, Product Management, Perceptive Informatics. "As clients face further globalization of clinical trials and require site management and monitoring of increasingly complex studies, they need technology that keeps pace. Perceptive's enhanced system represents a significant leap forward in flexibility and usability, enabling clients to improve the speed and effectiveness of their clinical development programs."

--  Configurability by Clinical Trial Type - Customers can define their own clinical trial types - from single-site investigator-initiated studies to large multi-country studies - enabling them to select the critical screens and fields that each requires. This simplifies and streamlines clinical trial management and ensures that users see exactly what they need.
