InfoPro Solutions:

-- InfoPro Solutions announced the launch of the Clinicopia(TM)

Suite -- the world's first purpose-built, industry-specific

fully integrated Clinical Trials Supplies Management System

built from the ground-up. The Suite consists of Clinicopia

CSC, Clinicopia Labeling and Clinicopia Forecasting.

InfoPro Solutions launched Clinicopia(TM) Suite, the world's first purpose-built industry-specific Clinical Trials Supplies Management System developed from the ground up to meet the unique needs and concerns of all the groups associated with clinical trial materials supply.

Clinical Supplies is on the critical path of the drug development process. Says Dr. David Bernstein, Vice President, Cato Research, "The complexity of the clinical supply process requires a corresponding systematic management of the entire clinical supply chain. Firms that have adopted efficient management and leading technology practices find their studies start sooner and require less study drug."

The Clinicopia Suite consists of three applications:

-- Clinicopia CSC enables managers to comprehensively plan, monitor and control
the entire clinical supply chain. Every aspect of this process is addressed
through the modules of Clinicopia CSC, from planning and managing the
manufacturing of kits to the actual distribution and assignment to patients and
the accounting of returns. The organization has complete control over clinical
material inventory independent of the commercial inventory management system.
QA and Regulatory have across-the-board control of the clinical supply chain
right up to kit stocks at sites.

-- Clinicopia Labeling is a clinical label creation and management system
integrating a feature-rich, Java-based graphics editor, a global electronic
web-approval routing system, integration of random data and printing on
standard thermal printers. All print runs are auditable processes, facilitating
label inventory tracking and management.

-- Clinicopia Forecasting empowers managers to forecast, plan and procure
clinical materials required for a study from API and excipient through dosage
form, packaging material and other ancillary items. It can be used to create
manufacturing schedules and manage information related to studies with large
patient populations and complex protocols that call for a variety of regimens
and treatments.

Vikram Marla, President InfoPro Solutions, said, "The Clinicopia(TM) Suite was built from the ground up taking into consideration current and future needs of the user groups. The competitive advantage over generic ERP systems is that the Clinicopia(TM) Suite provides a fully integrated end-to-end solution for the markets we serve."
