Bioclinica®, Inc., a specialty clinical trials services and technology provider, announced today that it has acquired Clinverse, Inc. The acquisition expands Bioclinica's offerings into the growing market of automated financial management technology solutions for global clinical trials. Clinverse is the latest investment that Bioclinica has completed to build the company into a leading provider of solutions that bring quality and efficiency to every phase of clinical trial development.
Headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, Clinverse automates and manages the entire financial lifecycle of global clinical trials for contract research organizations (CROs) and pharmaceutical companies. Its suite of products pays clinical trial sites, vendors and their subjects; budgets and forecasts trial expenditures and converts tax and exchange rates in more than 200 countries and 140 currencies globally. Clinverse's products also can be integrated with other eClinical platforms. The company's services have saved CROs and pharmaceutical corporations as much as 50 percent of their operational costs.
"We are delighted to add Clinverse's capabilities to Bioclinica's portfolio of solutions," said Dr. John Hubbard, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bioclinica.
"Managing clinical investigator payments has been a significant challenge for our industry. For years, sponsors have manually tracked and paid clinical trial sites. Clinverse developed one of the first automated solutions to alleviate companies of this burden. The company is making a significant impact in reducing costly errors, improving satisfaction and increasing operational efficiencies to mitigate this major pain point in drug development."
