Oracle Health Sciences InForm Advanced Molecular Analytics Enables Life Sciences Organizations to Incorporate Genomic Data Into Clinical R&D for Targeted, Biomarker-Driven Clinical Trials
Solution Extends the Capabilities of Oracle Health Sciences InForm GTM to Effectively Collect, Store and Analyze Genomic Data
BOSTON, MA, Mar 25, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- ORACLE INDUSTRY CONNECT -- Oracle ORCL +0.84%
News Summary Biomarkers are becoming a key component of clinical trial design, enabling researchers to rapidly find subjects with similar clinical and omics characteristics. Oracle Health Sciences InForm Advanced Molecular Analytics is one of the first commercially available cloud-delivery solutions to incorporate genomics into the clinical data capture and management process. Integrated with Oracle Health Sciences InForm GTM, the solution enables clinical researchers to effectively capture, aggregate and analyze molecular data along with clinical data to provide the information needed to identify new predictive biomarkers. The solution facilitates the stratification of patients into target populations of responders to accelerate trials and improve drug and therapeutic outcomes.
News Facts
-- Oracle Health Sciences today announced Oracle Health Sciences InForm
Advanced Molecular Analytics. Integrated with Oracle Health Sciences
InForm GTM, the solution enables clinical trial managers to
systematically and effectively collect, store and analyze genomic data
captured in a clinical trial.
-- The new capabilities of Oracle Health Sciences InForm Advanced
Molecular Analytics help life sciences organizations to stratify
patients and reduce research and development costs by leveraging
targeted drug development approaches and decreasing study size and
length. The solution also helps researchers identify new indications
and therapies through post-trial, cross-study analysis with molecular
data.
-- Collecting biomarker data is typically a difficult manual effort,
aggregating data scattered across spreadsheets, file systems and
siloed transaction systems. With Oracle Health Sciences InForm
Advanced Molecular Analytics, researchers have consolidated access to
both clinical and genomic data for numerous purposes, such as
submission or the design of more exploratory translational research
studies, including those that can generate petabytes of data from
thousands of whole genome sequences.
-- Life sciences organizations can gain a single, integrated view of
genomic, genetic and clinical data, enabling clinical researchers to
identify and validate new targets. The solution supports multiple
omics modalities and targeted gene panels and can scale to handle
hundreds of thousands of whole genomes.
-- Clinical researchers can study patient genomic profiles, analyze
differences and compare molecular data against common large public
domain data sets, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas -- streamlining
analysis and increasing statistical power.
-- The Oracle Health Sciences InForm Advanced Molecular Analytics
solution leverages proven technology from Oracle Health Sciences
Translational Research Center to deliver one of the first commercially
available "molecular-aware" clinical data capture and management
solutions.
-- Oracle Health Sciences InForm Advanced Molecular Analytics is deployed
as software-as-a-service (SaaS) and is fully integrated with the
Oracle Health Sciences InForm Cloud Service. As a comprehensive and
commercially available SaaS solution, life sciences organizations
avoid the cost and time associated with building and maintaining
custom solutions.
