Comprehend Joins The Avoca Quality Consortium™ to Share Quality and Compliance Insights for Clinical Trials
Redwood City, Calif. (PRWEB) September 05, 2017 -- Comprehend Systems, the leader in Clinical Intelligence software, today announced its membership in The Avoca Quality Consortium (AQC), a collaborative focused on quality management in clinical outsourcing, cementing a long-standing relationship with The Avoca Group to support clinical trial metrics and insights on quality and oversight. With the advent of the ICH E6 (R2) addendum, quality and oversight are spotlighted areas of interest for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Both Comprehend and the AQC are focused on providing relevant leading practices and metrics to assist these companies in addressing efficacy, vendor relationships, patient safety and regulatory compliance.
“Avoca’s deep industry standard guidance is well recognized in life sciences,” said Rick Morrison, CEO of Comprehend. “Many of the leading sponsors with whom we work follow Avoca’s advice and strategy, and we are delighted to be a part of the Avoca Quality Consortium to continue to support these sponsors in their roadmap to achieve clinical trial excellence.”
“Avoca and Comprehend are aligned with the mission to improve quality, speed, and efficiency in clinical trial execution, and Comprehend is making a difference in clinical research through their innovative technology to enable insights into clinical trials,” said Patricia Leuchten, President and CEO, The Avoca Group. “Recently, Avoca and Comprehend collaborated on a webinar focused on oversight, where both companies demonstrated leading practices and expertise in helping the industry to be compliant with ICH E6 (R2). We welcome Comprehend as a new AQC Member and look forward to working together as part of our collaboration model to further both quality and compliance initiatives.”
