The MDR platform is a flexible, metadata repository and governance platform that helps organisations to make better use of data standards by helping them to find, understand, use and exchange information more efficiently.

Intilaris has multiple different services linked to clinical trial optimisation. These include clinical project planning systems for all phases, operational management of the studies to ensure they meet relevant guidelines and a product orientated licensing strategy.

The companies believe that by combining their expertise and platforms, this can lead to efficiency gains, which will both save pharmaceutical companies money and help them to bring drugs to patients more quickly.

Nurocor president and founder Alex Lazar said: “We are pleased to partner with Intilaris to help customers optimise clinical trial processes beginning at the planning stage.”
