PRA International Rolls out Client Access to Oracle(R) RDC for Early Phase Studies

Improved Monitoring and Increased Sponsor Access to Data are Key Benefits

RALEIGH, North Carolina, January 15 - PRA International, a leading Clinical Research Organization, announces
that it will begin providing a client-facing portal into Oracle(R) Remote
Data Capture (RDC) for its early phase studies in its Clinical Pharmacology
Units in The Netherlands and the United States. Through the portal, clients
working with PRA will have direct access to review RDC data. The portal
provides sponsors with the ability to review all entered data, to move
between subjects and pages, to see the multiple page views within the system
and to compare separate pages in a side-by-side fashion.

Perhaps the most important benefit from this application is improved
efficiency in study monitoring. A study monitor can monitor remotely either
as a replacement for some site visits or to review data ahead of time in
preparation for a site visit. This results in higher quality data and lower
study costs through the reduction of monitoring time and queries. Other
benefits from this system include the potential for increased client
visibility into any potential safety concerns (via live data review) and
enhanced communication regarding potential data issues between the client and
PRA.

PRA's Early Development Services (EDS) group provides comprehensive
services for phase I and phase IIa studies in healthy volunteers or special
patient populations. Our expertise is primarily with more complex types of
studies in which safety and intelligent design are critical factors.
