CRO Analytics announced Series A investments from Ben Franklin Technology Partners and the newly established Venture Capital for Bucks County (VC4BC) fund.
- Lancaster, PA (1888PressRelease) December 16, 2014 - CRO Analytics, the leading provider of validated clinical trial performance data, announced Series A investments from Ben Franklin Technology Partners (BFTP) of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and the newly established Venture Capital for Bucks County (VC4BC) fund. The investment will support the Pilot to Production program of the company's Performer™ platform, the only validated Clinical Trial Quality System in the industry.
"We are very pleased to add two of the most noteworthy investment groups as business partners," said Peter Malamis, CEO of CRO Analytics. "BFTP has an unparalleled history of supporting new businesses in our region, and we are honored to be among the first investments of the VC4BC initiative. Their confidence in CRO Analytics serves as both an endorsement of our team, and as motivation to keep working to improve the clinical research environment."
CRO Analytics' lead product, Performer, is a cloud-based software platform designed to improve clinical research by assessing clinical trial performance through online tools that measure the quality of more than 70 functional areas and professional skills involved in clinical trial delivery. The data is analyzed using a series of algorithms to deliver actionable insights. The Company launched Performer Version 1.0 earlier this year, accompanied by the initial version of its Trial Management and Oversight Module for Phase 2-4 clinical trials.
The recently launched Pilot to Production program provides a limited number of CROs and sponsors with the opportunity to work directly with CRO Analytics to develop a deeper understanding of how Performer is used, adds value, and can be improved prior to its full launch next year. Two companies have confirmed their participation in the program and CRO Analytics is looking to add four others.
"Clinical trial performance problems have a substantial impact on the health and well-being of patients in the US and around the world," stated Malamis. "Performer is designed to properly assess trial performance, providing sponsors and CROs with the insight necessary to move trials forward, anticipate and address issues, and ultimately get new and improved treatments to market sooner."
