PAREXEL (PRXL) Launches Sensor for Clinical Trial Market
Read MoreHide Full Article
PAREXEL International Corporation , a global biopharmaceutical services company and provider of clinical research and logistics, recently announced the launch of its patient sensor solution. The solution securely captures, transmits, stores and visualizes study subject data in clinical trials.
Stock Performance
The price performance of PAREXEL International was unfavorable in the last three months. The stock lost 4.18%, underperforming the Zacks classified Medical Services sub-industry’s gain of almost 0.38%.
Also, the estimate revision trend for the current year was unfavorable in the last two months. Two estimates moved south against no movement in the opposite direction. This justifies the stock’s Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Patient Sensor Solution in Detail
Coming back to the news, the newly launched patient sensor solution is powered by the proprietary Perceptive MyTrials Analytics platform. This enables an end-to-end services and technology solution that facilitates the remote collection of study subject data via medical devices. Also, the use of wearables and sensors reduce the number of clinical assessments and/or on-site visits during clinical trials.
Going forward, we believe PAREXEL primarily aims at diversifying its core business through launches like this. In fact, the company is striving to come up with a single solution for all the clinical development outsourcing needs of clients by unifying the highly advanced tasks of clinical monitoring, data management, biostatistics, site monitoring, study management, medical writing and pharma covigilance.
Meanwhile, the biopharmaceuticals market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% to reach a worth of $278 billion by 2020, per Persistence Market Research. We expect PAREXEL to gain significant traction in the biopharmaceutical and related ancillary markets, courtesy of the favorable trend and the takeover.
