Five More Cancer Centers Join Velos User Community
Fremont, CA — April 26, 2005 — Velos, Inc., an
innovative healthcare software provider, today announced that five
more cancer centers have adopted Velos eResearch for their clinical
trial management information needs. Velos eResearch is a pure
internet and intranet system platform that supports clinical
research professionals in the areas of patient information
management, study administration, patient data safety and
monitoring, electronic data capture, system integration, and budget,
revenue, and financial management.
“Velos’ software
experience in cancer research extends back 10 years,” notes John
McIlwain, President of Velos. “Our Cancer Center customers benefit
from this knowledge in the form of tremendous product quality and
depth in implementation expertise. Cancer research professionals who
have seen Velos eResearch quickly recognize that it is the most
complete, thoughtfully designed clinical trial management system
that’s commercially available for cancer centers.”
“Our
customers are pleased that capabilities planned in government and
commercial initiatives are available today in Velos,” notes Priti
Sahai, MD, Senior Product Manager for Velos. “Our grid technology,
for example, that enables fully secure, ‘federated’ data exchange
among sites and sponsors, went live last summer. Velos is committed
to our customers and the National Cancer Institute’s vision of
information sharing and collaboration in cancer research.”
In
addition to supporting the study administration needs of Cancer
Centers, Velos provides end-to-end electronic patient screening and
clinical trial data collection. In mid-2004, Velos eResearch
collaborators, including four of the top ten cancer centers in the
United States, completed the first fully electronic, multi-site NCI
clinical trial data submission on a commercially available system
--- from source systems through to the NCI. Study data comes
directly from source systems, such as laboratory and medical record
systems at the sites, to the investigative team, on to the lead
investigator, and then on to the sponsor.
