CRF Box revealed its patient connectivity technology in clinical R&D has shown data quality improvements of 90%, and process savings of 25-35% in trial budget.

Some of our clients have realized that the benefits experienced during their clinical trials could also be applied to data collected from large, high cost, traditionally hard to control, post-submission marketing studies, said Timo Ahopelto, CEO, CRF Box.

According to CRF Box, the application is designed to collect systematic patient experience information and send it to physicians via the Internet. The solution also is designed to provide patients with improved compliance and more effective communication to deliver the right medication at the correct dosing regimen.

For a top-tier pharma's cholesterol reduction treatment, CRF Box technology generated a 100+% increase in market share over a 12 month program in a highly competitive marketplace, said Jaakko Ollila, VP of Business Development, CRF Box.

We have learned that the richness of the data gathered in Phase IV studies is extremely valuable in programs aimed at both physicians and consumers, said Mike Miller-Smith, Marketing Manager. Pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders are increasingly aware that revenue generation not only comes from potential blockbuster drugs within R&D, but also customer retention and acquisition activity within the existing therapeutics under patent.
