Spaulding Clinical's Innovations Produce Best Quality in 240 Subject TQT Study

West Bend, WI, November 2, 2009 - Spaulding Clinical Research, a newly designed Phase I Unit provisioned for all types of pharmaceutical trials including the most complex cardiac safety studies, announces the recent completion of an 11-week, 240 subject thorough QT study (TQT). Results were available for 99.63% of the total 17,280 ECGs required for the study in real time throughout the study, and there was no ECG data loss, 99.85% of pre- scheduled ECGs being successfully captured with high quality.

Spaulding Clinical has integrated the newest technology to automate the collection and storage of virtually all data in a way the industry has not seen before. Paper records and manual data entry have been virtually eliminated which; also eliminates human errors and data loss. As a result the Spaulding Clinical staff spends more time in direct care of the subjects.

The integration of modern technology and the resulting availability of most data in real-time allows earlier identification of adverse events and earlier delivery of high quality data to the Sponsor.

One of Spaulding Clinical’s innovations is the electronic integration of multiple data sources with the ALPHADAS (Logos Technologies’ clinical trial platform). Tanna Kreigh, from Logos, who has over 30 years of clinical trial experience, said, “I am amazed at how thoroughly Spaulding Clinical staff has integrated data sources with our ALPHADAS platform. In other phase I units I’ve observed near chaos on study days. However the staff at Spaulding Clinical are incredibly confident and very efficient in their work. Things were so well organized and executed I would never have known that it was a study day until I looked at the monitors to see data coming in.”

Spaulding Clinical has now successfully recruited large numbers of study subjects and quickly and efficiently completed several TQT studies and less complex pharmacokinetic studies.

Tiba Medical Collaboration Announced Print
Wednesday, July 01 2009 08:00

Tiba Medical and Spaulding Clinical Research Team Up to Bring Blood Pressure Monitoring to Phase I Cardiac Safety Clinical Trials

July 2, 2009 ‐ Milwaukee, WI Tiba Medical and Spaulding Clinical Research announced today an important collaboration for supporting Phase I cardiac safety clinical trials.

As part of this strategic agreement, Spaulding Clinical Research has integrated Tiba Medical’s Ambulo 2400 ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) systems into its suite of offerings. In this way, clinical trials that need to review blood pressure as a cardiac safety biomarker can now obtain, acquire, analyze, and report findings seamlessly. The ambulatory device and related software will greatly simplify and improve the frequent acquisition of blood pressure data in varying activity states. The completed solution will allow pharmaceutical companies and their Clinical Research Organization (CRO) partners to accomplish the following objectives:

  • Design and manage a stringent protocol for cardiac safety monitoring using a state-of-the-art Clinical Trial Management System
  • Obtain, analyze, review, and report critical clinical safety biomarkers - including blood pressure—for each subject in a Phase I environment
  • Correlate ECG data (e.g., ST segment shifts) with blood pressure data at perfectly synchronized time points
  • Perform chronologically precise correlations of physiological parameters (e.g., electrocardiographic QTc or blood pressure) with plasma concentration for PK/PD modeling
  • Warehouse all data and provide near real-time results for review by sponsors and safety experts, and
  • Utilize a solution that is validated and complies with the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 criteria for electronic records

"In our continuing pursuit to move the science of cardiac safety studies into the 21st century, it is important to offer our clients the ability to collect blood pressure as an added cardiac safety biomarker," said Randy Spaulding, founder of Spaulding Clinical Research. "By incorporating Tiba Medical's ABPM systems, we are able to offer our clients a state-of-the-art solution that seamlessly integrates with our overall services."

"The FDA and other regulatory agencies are continually assessing various biomarkers and surrogates as part of the risk/benefit evaluation of new drugs. Changes in blood pressure induced by new drugs are now recognized as an important consideration for increased cardiovascular risk" said Merat Bagha, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tiba Medical. "We are pleased to partner with Spaulding Clinical Research to provide a seamless, integrated, and ready-to-go platform for better assessing cardiac safety" said Mr. Bagha.

The combined solution will be available directly from Spaulding Clinical Research to biopharmaceutical customers and their CRO partners in July 2009.
