Together, Certara and Formedix offer one provider that can automate clinical data flow from collection through submission resulting in faster cycle times from study setup to database lock and final clinical study report. The combined offering will increase collaboration and reduce data silos across data standards, data management, clinical programming, and statistical analysis teams for more effective therapy development.
