New Company, Radiant Sage, Provides On-Demand Clinical Trial Image Management Solutions

BELMONT, MA--(Marketwire - Jun 6, 2011) - Radiant Sage LLC, a provider of on-demand Clinical Trial Image Management Solutions, today announced its official launch into the marketplace. The company has developed purpose-built, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) clinical trial imaging management solutions that address clinical trial sponsors' needs for rapid trial starts, increased efficiency, the ability to retain control of their trials, real-time access to and integration of images, complete transparency, and elimination of capital infrastructure investments.

"Our solutions are already being used by two of the world's top five pharmaceutical companies," said Chander Jain, VP of Development and Services. "We are excited to now be able to go out to the market and provide our solutions for other clinical trial sponsors that are struggling with their current clinical image management methods. By leveraging Radiant Sage's SaaS delivery model, sponsors are able to get their trials up and running quickly, have more control over their trials and are able to acquire, organize, view process and deliver information in a timely and cost-effective manner in a single platform. We believe this will revolutionize the way images are used in drug discovery and research."

"Clinical trials continue to grow more complex and sponsors are challenged with increased susceptibility to errors, resulting in the potential for added delays and increased trial costs," said Alan Louie, Ph.D., research director, Clinical Development, Strategy and Technology for IDC Health Insights. "Radiant Sage's SaaS-based solutions provide sponsors with the ability to more effectively manage the imaging component of their clinical trials from protocol to archive. Their cloud approach enables sponsors to get up and running within weeks, much faster than with other core lab solutions. By improving the performance and management of clinical imaging, sponsors will be able to save valuable time and reduce trial costs."

A top five global pharmaceutical customer of Radiant Sage explained their experience with the clinical trial image management solutions: "Radiant Sage's solutions were implemented to support our global (and virtual) R&D function and have delivered more than $13 million in cost avoidance through use of clinical samples and scientific insight from more than 1.5 million images in just the first year. Our research team is now able to enforce data standards at the time of data collection, allowing them to better manage study quality and cost. Our sample searches now take minutes rather than months, allowing the project teams to design better experiments by performing 'what-if' analyses. And, assembling image data from sites and core labs has been reduced from days to minutes. Additionally, having data housed in one repository is highly advantageous and reduces the regulatory risks associated with this data."

Radiant Sage currently offers two solutions:

• Core-Lab-in-a-Box™ - This unique, purpose-built web-based clinical trial management software package is a comprehensive technology solution that provides trial sponsors with all the key functionality of an imaging core lab without the associated expense and risk. It facilitates study execution, regulatory compliance and exploratory research. Furthermore, offered via a SaaS delivery model, it enables sponsors to have a trial up and running in just weeks.

• RadVista Viewer - A cross-platform imaging workstation that has been specifically designed for clinical trials and blinded reads, RadVista Viewer offers comprehensive functionality to provide multi-image displays and sophisticated image processing, annotation, segmentation, and 3D rendering tools.
