Read MoreHide Full Article

Veeva Systems Inc. (VEEV - Free Report) recently announced the availability of a novel solution for aggregating, cleaning and transforming clinical data, Veeva CDB (clinical database). The new clinical data application puts together study data from various sources to provide complete and concurrent clinical trial data.

In the same press release, Veeva Systems also announced the Veeva CDB Data Provider Program. This will likely bring sponsors, contract research organizations and data providers together on a single clinical data management platform to enable the delivery of quality data faster and more efficiently.

The latest launch is expected to provide a significant boost to the Veeva Vault Clinical Data Management Suite of the Veeva Vault Clinical Suite under the Veeva Development Cloud solutions. Notably, the Veeva Development Cloud solutions belong to the broader Life Sciences segment and will likely improve patient experience and help retain patients in trials.

Significance of the Launch

Veeva CDB is expected to advance the way clinical data management teams work by providing a platform for ingestion and reviewing all study data sources. At the same time, it will likely reduce the manual processes, integration projects, complexity and costs associated with making clinical trial data usable.

Veeva Systems believes that with Veeva CDB sponsors and data providers can view and resolve data queries centrally to minimize quality risks, provide better data visibility and speed up trial execution. Veeva CDB's automated ingestion engine brings together data from a wide array of external sources, including EDC, ePRO and lab data, among others. Ingestion from Veeva Vault EDC will be available from Oct 18 and support for other third-party EDC systems, including Medidata Rave, has been planned for 2023.

Per management, Veeva CDB has delivered analysis-ready data at a faster rate for more informed decisions and streamlined execution across all trial partners in various trials conducted to date. Management expects that the effort put into Veeva CDB over the past couple of years will likely maintain its momentum.
