Clinipace consumes Worldwide

After completing its acquisition of Worldwide Clinical Research, Clinipace has changed its name to Clinipace Worldwide. The combined company will offer "integrated technology-based clinical research solutions and services," according to an announcement.

The deal combines the technology-driven clinical research solutions of Clinipace with the oncology-focused clinical operations functionality of Worldwide Clinical Research, including monitoring, site management, and project management. Clinipace technology offerings include the Internet-based TEMPO software platform, which integrates data capture and study management capabilities.

The match-up provides each company with something it didn't have before, says Campbell Alliance consultancy CEO John Campbell, in a local press report: Clinipace gets an international presence, and Worldwide gets technology.

Clinipace Worldwide combines Worldwide Clinical's Overland Park, KS, and South American sites--Sao Paulo, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Lima, Peru--with Clinipace headquarters in Research Triangle Park, NC. The company says it plans to continue hiring in all locations throughout 2010.
