OmniComm Systems, Inc. And City Of Hope Collaboration To Benefit Entire Cancer
Research Community
EDC Company to collaborate with leading Cancer Center to build standards-based eCRFs
and make available outcome of collaboration to other users.
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL - December 4, 2007 - /MarketWire/ - OmniComm Systems, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: OMCM.OB), a leader in integrated electronic data capture (EDC) solutions
for clinical trials, today announced that City of Hope (a recent license customer
of the TrialMasterTM product suite) and OmniComm are working together
to develop a set of caDSR derived standardized case report forms and reporting tools
to support National Cancer Institute (NCI) reporting requirements. These reusable
forms and tools will be made freely available to other Cancer Centers by OmniComm
and City of Hope following a formal process of user acceptance testing led by City
of Hope staff. City of Hope intends to use these standardized forms and NCI reporting
tools for the first trial that they put into production using their TrialMaster
environment.
"OmniComm is employing our extensive experience in building eCRFs to build a library
of eCRFs based on standards extracted from the caDSR and have already completed
the initial build of all the forms used to meet the reporting requirements for many
NCI funded trials," said Stephen Johnson, Executive Vice President of Business Development,
Professional Services and Client Services and Support at OmniComm. "We are confident
that working with City of Hope to validate the results and optimize the resulting
eCRFs will produce a high quality reusable tool that many of our clients will benefit
from."
"We plan to use this library as the foundation for data collection in our early-phase
oncology trials," said Jeffrey Longmate, Ph.D., Director of Biostatistics at City
of Hope. "Having a broad collection of standard data elements already mapped to
meet our typical research needs and major reporting requirements will help us rapidly
launch new protocol-specific eCRFs implemented with TrialMaster. We hope that the
savings in time and effort will broaden the feasibility of electronic data capture
in the Cancer Center environment."
The plan to make this library of standards-based eCRFs and associated reporting
tools available to other Cancer Centers is consistent with other City of Hope informatics
contributions to the community including its on-going caBIG related activities.
Similarly, making these tools available to users of TrialMaster is consistent with
OmniComm's commitment to ensuring the availability of high quality and reusable
tools for its customers. The pledge to make this resource freely available to future
adopters of TrialMaster will further reduce the time required to bring NCI funded
trials live.
