Nurocor MDR Delivers a Single Authoritative Source for Clinical Metadata

Product adds support for direct integration with EDC and CDM systems, and expands the use of metadata with a new UI

Nurocor announced today the release of Nurocor MDRTM, a next-generation metadata repository for clinical data standards management.  Building on the foundation of the Semantics Manager product acquired from Akana, a Rogue Wave company, Nurocor MDR adds support for direct integration with Electronic Data Capture and Clinical Data Management systems, and expands the use of metadata with a new UI targeted at metadata users.

Nurocor MDR™ provides a mature, enterprise-strength and highly flexible platform to improve business efficiency through standards development and implementation.  Building on the foundation of the more than 115 man years of engineering work Akana put into the product, Nurocor has added key capabilities to help BioPharma companies optimize their use of clinical data:

"BioPharma companies must have a single authoritative source of metadata at the heart of their clinical development process, Nurocor MDR delivers an enterprise-class solution for achieving end-to-end metadata standardization to reduce cost, increase quality, and satisfy regulatory requirements."

  • Direct integration with EDC and CDM system – bring new medicines to patients more quickly by ensuring that all systems involved in the R&D process share common data definitions to ease the seamless interchange of clinical data between systems and with regulatory bodies.  
  • A new UI focused on the metadata consumer to help broaden the use of shared metadata and standards beyond the standards custodians to the applications and users of the standards themselves.

“BioPharma companies must have a single authoritative source of metadata at the heart of their clinical development process,” said Barrie Nelson, Nurocor Chief Standards Officer.  “Nurocor MDR delivers an enterprise-class solution for achieving end-to-end metadata standardization to reduce cost, increase quality, and satisfy regulatory requirements.”
