Orion Transforms its Clinical Trials with Medidata

Medidata (NASDAQ: MDSO) today announced that global pharmaceutical company Orion will consolidate all clinical trials on the Medidata Rave Clinical Cloud™ and expand its use of trial management solutions to support growth of its R&D pipeline.

By unifying all required capabilities to deliver a successful clinical trial, the Rave Clinical Cloud has become the platform of choice. It creates a single source of truth for all study-related data. This data-driven approach to clinical study conduct breaks down silos and enables study teams to reuse study data when needed.

This expansion, which includes Medidata Rave RTSM, empowers Orion to randomize patients instantly in a single platform. The company can now optimize operational execution, reduce the number of clinical systems, decrease data entry and maintenance burdens, and increase the speed of its trials. With intelligent oversight across its trial planning, conduct, and management activities, Orion will make better informed decisions and optimize outcomes.

"When selecting our platform we needed confidence that it could support big changes, both in our business and the wider industry,” said Olavi Kikku, director R&D data science & analytics at Orion Corporation. "Years of partnership with Medidata convinced us that they are the best fit. Their constant innovation and product roadmap aligned with our own ambitions for evolving toward the future of clinical trials.”

"Orion continues to pioneer digital transformation in clinical development,” commented Glen de Vries, co-founder and president, Medidata. "The company understands the power of leveraging advanced solutions on a unified platform to reduce risk, accelerate time to market and improve outcomes. We look forward to our ongoing partnership and the future innovation it will bring.”
