CMIC Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of CMIC HOLDINGS Co., Ltd., has announced that the company has started to promote its services of Risk Based Monitoring called “CMIC’s RBM(Risk Based Monitoring)”. CMIC has been encouraged minimization of risk and improving quality of clinical trials by determining the considerations in operation of medical institutions and taking approaches to maintain better quality control with medical experts and staff involved in the trials.

CMIC has started operating a clinical trial of pediatric sleep disorders with neurodevelopmental disability by Nobelpharma Co., Ltd. by using “CMIC’s RBM”, which provides high quality and effective operations for clinical trials. As a result of analyzing the characteristics of this clinical trial, CMIC has decided to manage the trial by using RBM based on aggregating clinical trial systems into an all-in-one platform and using a structure of collecting patient records as clinical data immediately.

In CMIC’s RBM, the company analyzes the data acquisition process between corresponding medical institutions and CMIC, and then clarifies the problems. CMIC’s monitors and Data Manager are proactively involved to establish the RBM model for risk management. The company also promotes to increase work productivity of cumbersome set-up process of clinical trials by using the characteristics of partner companies. Additionally, CMIC has simplified the procedures of clinical trials by using batch application services※1 including Medidata Clinical Cloud® provided by Medidata Solutions, Inc. CMIC is the first company to use the both application service in Japan. CMIC has also adopted a mobile device “cPhone※2” for examinees manufactured by CROee Inc. “cPhone” carries ePRO (Medidata Patient Cloud) and an application which is a joint development of CROee Inc. and CMIC. The application enables support to take prescription drugs for pediatric examinees and expects to improve drug compliance for children.
