Chennai :

TAKE Solutions — a Chennai-based global business technology solutions provider — has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its clinical data standardization process.

The process, delivered by Navitas — the life sciences arm of TAKE Solutions — is referred to as “Method for Optimizing Clinical Data Standardization.”

This process captures data from clinical trials coming in different formats and leverages TAKE’s clinical accelerator systems to standardize the data.

According to TAKE, the patented process is capable of reducing the time taken to standardize trial data, thus simplifying the analysis process by regulators and also reducing time to market.

“The process includes various pre-defined steps that convert raw data into tabular data sets. This enables regulators to easily understand the data, as well as enables easy analysis of trial data,” TAKE Solutions said in a statement.

“The clinical data and regulatory service accounts for almost 30% of our life sciences business and we expect the patented process to reduce cost of providing the services by around 20%,” Srinivasan H R, vice-chairman and MD of TAKE Solutions, told TOI.

TAKE’s clinical data and regulatory services team offers clinical data solutions, including clinical data standardisation, clinical data management, statistical programming and data standards.
