Oracle
     
 

Dear Customer,

On March 29, 2012, Oracle announced that it has agreed to acquire ClearTrial, a leading provider of cloud-based Clinical Trial Operations and analytics products that make the planning, sourcing, and tracking of clinical projects and financial performance faster and more accurate. Until the transaction closes, Oracle and ClearTrial will continue to operate independently, and it is business as usual.

Biopharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic companies, as well as contract research organizations (CROs), are faced with the increasing complexity and cost of bringing new therapies to market. Traditional methods of using spreadsheets, generic planning software, and ad hoc planning processes have lead to lengthy planning cycles, inaccurate budgets, and high variances between planned budgets and actual costs.

The combination of Oracle and ClearTrial is expected to deliver the most comprehensive closed-loop clinical trial management offering from planning to payment. ClearTrial's activity-based costing solutions use embedded intelligence based on deep industry expertise to help life sciences companies manage the rising costs and increasing complexities of bringing new therapies to market. Oracle provides integrated clinical development and safety management capabilities that streamline study layout and design, patient data collection and management, clinical study modeling, and full data analysis and reporting. Together, Oracle expects to enable companies to significantly improve their ability to manage clinical trials across geographies, outsourcers, therapeutic areas, and trial phases resulting in a better return on their R&D capital investments.

ClearTrial management and employees are expected to join Oracle as a part of the Oracle Health Sciences global business unit, ensuring the continuity of products and services delivery for ClearTrial customers, and bringing significant domain expertise to Oracle.

We appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,

Neil de Crescenzo
Senior Vice President and General Manager
Oracle Health Sciences
