BOSTON & GENEVA--()--The pharmaceutical industry continued its rapid adoption of the PHT Corporation patient-driven eData Patient Suite for clinical research in 2014. PHT achieved 61% growth in new business and 43% year-over-year revenue growth. PHT is the leading provider of mobile technologies used to collect patient and clinician reported outcomes in clinical research.

Over 31 pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences companies chose the PHT electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) System for 94 clinical trials and studies. PHT welcomed 8 new clients through direct sales and CRO partnerships.

PHT saw 31% growth in scientific consulting and education services and expanded the offering to include Rater Training based on customer demand. PHT now offers Rater Training for a variety of instruments including the C-SSRS, M.I.N.I and Sheehan-STS and SDS.

Customer achievements included Celgene, which used the PHT SitePad® System to collect eData for its FDA-approved Otezla® to treat adults with psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis. Agile Therapeutics used the LogPad® System for the Phase III trial of the Twirla® contraceptive patch. Celgene's Senior Study manager talks about the Otezla trial: bit.ly/PHTCelgene

Oncology, Immunology and Respiratory were the fastest growing therapeutic areas for PHT eCOA Systems, driving sales of the PHT SitePad System. More trials used combination offerings, especially the LogPad and SitePad Systems, to support increased trial complexity. More late-phase programs including registries and comparative effectiveness studies used the PHT NetPRO™ web system.

PHT President and CEO Philip Lee, said, "PHT and eCOA Systems are experiencing accelerated growth as the adoption of patient-driven eData increases dramatically. Sponsors are moving away from paper to eClinical systems for data collection and management throughout clinical research. PHT is driving adoption through flexible eCOA systems configured to support the scientific goals of individual trials, backed by an organization-wide focus on delivering a superior experience to sponsors, patients and sites."
