Medidata plans Mass. blitz

Talk about heading into enemy territory: CTMS solutions maker Medidata, flanked by Almac Clinical Technologies (interactive voice and web response technology) and PHT (electronic patient-reported outcome solutions), journeys to Waltham, MA, later this week on a two-stop tour of breakfast seminars on leveraging clinical trial data. The focus is the Almac/PHT/Medidata data-integration approach for viewing patient data in one system. Waltham, of course, is the seat of power for CTMS archrivals Phase Forward, Perceptive Informatics, and Akaza Research. Release
