Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute Switches to Provantis Preclinical Solution

Instem’s Provantis™ Software Solution Chosen to Increase Operational Effectiveness

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA – (BUSINESS WIRE) –November 13, 2008 - - Instem, a leading provider of early drug development software solutions, announced today that Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute (LRRI) has decided to replace its existing data collection system with the fully integrated Provantis™ solution to manage Preclinical study processes in their New Mexico facilities.

LRRI is a private, non-profit biomedical research organization dedicated to improving public health through research on the prevention, treatment, and cure of respiratory disease. LRRI employs over 500 staff in New Mexico and in 2008 is spending more than $60 million in the fight against respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, lung cancer, bronchitis and allergies.

“To reach our objective of more effectively integrating technology into our operations, we were faced with the options of either upgrading our existing data collection system, or alternatively acquiring a new comprehensive solution,” comments Doug White, Chief Information Officer at LRRI.
“After a thorough vendor evaluation process, it was Instem that gave us both the technology solution we required and the confidence we needed to move forward within a specific timeline and budget. Their Toxicology Resource Planning (TRP™) module also stood out from anything else we had seen, giving us the final confirmation that we had found the right system to help get our organization to the next level of efficiency and effectiveness.”

Using the TRP™ solution, LRRI will now have the ability to plan entire programs or single studies managing all of the required resources according to specific skills and/or departmental workloads. Since the TRP™ module is completely integrated with Provantis™, studies will be automatically converted into fully defined protocols. Through the In-life and reporting phases, TRP™ understands the resources that are being consumed and the progress of work completed.

LRRI will also benefit from Instem’s live global support teams, client managers and customer advocates to help optimize their technology to ensure they and their sponsors quickly see the benefits of Provantis™.

Provantis™ is a modern, fully integrated software system for single users and global organizations engaged in non-clinical evaluation studies. Orchestrating every facet of preclinical drug safety assessment, Provantis™ streamlines processes and workflows with straightforward, intuitive functionality for simple and complex studies within a GLP or non-GLP environment.
