NEW YORK-- April 01, 2022 -- Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes company, announced that Labcorp, a leading global life sciences company, has selected Medidata's technology platform to extend their 14-year partnership, the foundation of their initiative to co-develop digital biomarkers and expand the use and functionality of decentralized clinical trials.

“Our relationship with Medidata is built on using their core technologies to enhance our clinical trial portfolio and continue to expand our decentralized clinical trial offerings,” said Bill Hanlon, PhD, chief scientific officer and president of Clinical Therapeutic and Regulatory Sciences, Labcorp Drug Development. “Our work to advance sensor and digital biomarker usage in clinical research can help accelerate patient care while providing valuable information to study sponsors.”

Labcorp Drug Development has developed its offerings on Medidata technologies, starting with Rave EDC (electronic data capture), Coder and TSDV (targeted source data verification). Labcorp is now also using most of the Medidata Clinical Cloud platform, including eCOA (electronic clinical outcome assessment), RTSM (randomization and trial supply management), and Imaging.

“The last two years have required clinical trials to become more accessible and flexible; these changes make our strategic partnership with Labcorp Drug Development to modernize and decentralize trials even more critical,” said Anthony Costello, CEO Patient Cloud at Medidata. “With this new agreement, we’re excited to develop and deploy the innovations that help our customers run more effective clinical programs and get new treatments to patients faster than ever before.”
