INTEGRIUM HELPS CLIENTS BEAT PATIENT ENROLLMENT TIMELINES, REDUCE COSTS

Leading Specialized CRO Facilitates Patient Enrollment to Drive Efficiencies,
Ensure Biopharmaceutical Clients are Well-Positioned for Improved Trial Effectiveness

Tustin, Calif. – September 14, 2010 – Integrium LLC, a Contract Research Organization (CRO) specializing in cardiovascular and metabolic disease clinical research, today announced recent success with two of its leading biopharmaceutical customers, Graceway® Pharmaceuticals, LLC and Resverlogix Corp. (TSX: RVX). Integrium helped both companies tighten patient enrollment timelines to dramatically reduce study spend.

Headquartered in Calgary, Resverlogix is focused on developing novel therapies for unmet medical markets, primarily cardiovascular disease (CVD), vascular and inflammatory diseases. Graceway Pharmaceuticals is headquartered in Bristol, Tenn., and focused on acquiring, in-licensing and developing branded prescription pharmaceutical products.

Working in an increasingly competitive landscape thanks to sector consolidation, patent expirations and an outdated blockbuster drug model, specialty CROs like Integrium are well-positioned to meet the demands and requirements of leading sponsors due to its expertise in driving efficiencies during the patient enrollment phase. Integrium has differentiated itself by demonstrating a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of clinical research in three core therapeutic areas – cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease and dermatology – and by delivering successful clinical study solutions to biopharmaceutical companies.

“Patient recruitment, enrollment and retention continue to represent a critical bottleneck in clinical research and drug development,” said David Smith, M.D., Founding Partner and Chief Medical Officer, Integrium. “We’re pleased to be working with Graceway and Resverlogix to ensure that they have the patient subjects they need to get the highest-quality data to run better, safer trials.”

“Integrium’s keen understanding of our specific therapy areas allows us to stay focused on our primary trial objectives,” said Dr. Sharon Levy, Senior Vice President of Product Development for Graceway Pharmaceuticals. “For a multi-center Phase 2 trial they helped us enroll and randomize many more patients than we thought possible – and did so with a very small drop-out rate and 19 weeks ahead of schedule.”

“Integrium understands that trial efficiencies come from the ground up,” said Dr Allan Gordon, Senior Vice President, Clinical Development for Resverlogix. “The services team understood that we required a ‘true’ partnership and that success would come from understanding our needs and the complexities inherent in running a 40-site study – and their results exceeded our expectations. That they reduced our cycle so dramatically – by nearly six months – allowed us to come in under budget and see the site results we hoped for.”
