have open conversations about ePRO experiences with PHT and other
pharmaceutical companies. I look forward to next year."

    The two-day agenda included topics such as subject safety, PRO validation,
data analysis and trial design. Guest speakers highlighted experiences
conducting ePRO trials and the site user's perspective on eDiaries.

    Conference attendees also said they enjoyed the interactive Breakout
Sessions which explored key topics in eClinical research in great detail
with subject matter experts both from PHT and from the client community.
Participants selected their topics of interest and were encouraged to
brainstorm future enhancements and requirements in these interactive and
dedicated sessions.

Services.

    "Each year, our European User Group Meeting is a key opportunity for
clients to learn from each other and to affect our development strategy,"
said Phil Lee, PHT President and CEO. "The world's leading trial sponsors
have established PHT products and services as de facto standards in ePRO
based on significant improvements they deliver in patient safety, data
quality and trial management efficiencies. These meetings are essential
for us to maintain our strong client relationships through the open
exchange of ideas and thought-leadership."
