      managing the data associated with clinical trials. PharmaSoft solutions

      The PharmaSoft suite of clinical trial software technologies consists of 
      integral modules including:
    
    
      
        WebSys® is an easy-to-use, web-based 
        EDC and CDM system for collecting and managing clinical trial data. 
        Customized screens ease entry of CRF data. With system set-up 
        segregated from the study, changes can be modeled and assessed before 
        updating the clinical trial database.
      
      
        PROMIS™ is a flexible CTMS that helps 
        manage critical study information such as investigator site data, site 
        monitoring visit history and reports, study start-up documents, and 
        regulatory/Independent Review Board (IRB) approvals. Its structure is 
        completely flexible to accommodate the needs of each study.
      
      
        FaxSys™ features a facsimile data 
        capture system that reads, verifies, saves the original fax and then 
        uploads the data into the WebSys module. When appropriate, FaxSys can 
        be utilized in conjunction with WebSys in one and the same study.
      
      
        TeleSys™ is an IVRS that provides 
        functionality for subject randomization, and manages drug and 
        laboratory kits supplies as well as subject diary information. TeleSys 
        has been fully integrated with WebSys, providing an automated 
        bi-directional exchange of data between the two systems.
