PHT Corporation Reports Record Breaking 2nd Quarter as Pharma Industry Champions Patient-Driven eData Systems in Clinical Research


BOSTON & GENEVA --(Business Wire)--

PHT Corporation is experiencing exponential growth in 2014 with a 124% increase in demand for products and services in the second quarter over the same period in 2013. PHT is the leading provider of technologies used to collect patient-driven eData for clinical research. Sponsors and CROs use PHT products and services to deploy clinical outcome assessments on the web, smartphones and tablets.

The PHT eCOA System was chosen by 14 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies including 3 new clients to collect compliant, patient-driven eData for 25+ clinical research programs in over 7 therapeutic areas. Sales were both direct to customer and through CRO partnerships. Top therapeutic areas included CNS, endocrinology, respiratory and oncology.

PHT President and CEO Philip Lee said, "PHT has been actively preparing for this growth in new business by increasing our capacity, tools and infrastructure. The investment in the PHT Product Suite to use the latest devices including the Nexus 5, Dell (News - Alert) Venue with embedded 3G and 4G connectivity, and support for the BYOD models is paying dividends through added system flexibility and ease of use by patients, sites and sponsors."

The FDA's growing focus on patient reported outcomes (PROs) including symptom data in therapies like oncology was illustrated by the recent rejection of a new drug application for a malignant melanoma drug due to insufficient symptom-level data. http://www.pharmamedtechbi.com/publications/rpm-report/first-take/2014/4/provectus-breakthrough-denial-is-symptom-of-a-different-breakthrough-at-fda
