Cipher Pharmaceuticals Using MedAvante Centralized Ratings in Phase 3 Study
Date:12/7/2010

HAMILTON, N.J., Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- MedAvante, Inc., the leader in centralized expert evaluation of treatments for central nervous system disorders, announced that Cipher Pharmaceuticals is using MedAvante Centralized Ratings in their pivotal Phase 3 dermatology study.

"Clinical studies require specialized and sophisticated methodologies that are highly accurate and reproducible, and at the same time capable of assuring patient safety," said Dr. Jason A. Gross, Vice President of Scientific Affairs at Cipher.  "We examined other methodologies of evaluating psychiatric events, including automated self-report systems," he said.
