Vial, MLM Medical Labs Partnership To Deliver Quality and Efficient Laboratory Solutions

Vial, a worldwide technology-driven CRO that provides next-generation clinical trial administration services, has joined forces with MLM Medical Labs ("MLM"), an international central and speciality laboratory with locations in Europe and North America. MLM will provide Vial with central laboratory solutions such as study setup management, sample analysis, and patented MLM Kit Building®, which includes customizable, all-in-one sample collecting kits, tracking bar-codes, and color-coded labeling solutions, among other things. MLM also provides a complete sample management solution and a real-time, secured clinical data portal through its proprietary MLM Sample Storage System® and MLM-Online®. For clients needing point of collection sample tracking, MLM has partnered with TruLab, Inc. to provide biopharma and CROs with the precise location of samples from the collection site, real-time monitoring of protocol deviations, informed consent tracking, and reconciliation of specimen data.

This highly integrated technology suite provides valuable resources to trial sponsors and CROs as well as to site staff, CRAs, medical monitors, and project managers, as per Vial. "We're thrilled to partner with the MLM team who will help us provide our sponsors with the utmost quality and efficient central laboratory solutions. MLM's products help eradicate paper-based workflows, which eases the burdens of data entry and other monotonous tasks for site staff," said Simon Burns, CEO and Co-Founder of Vial. Vial claims to bring speedier, more efficient studies at a lower cost to biotech sponsors.

The Vial CRO distinguishes itself through the use of digital technologies, such as its TrialOS technology platform, which integrates eSource, EDC, and ePRO into a single integrated system to expedite site activities. Vial EDC is a modern, intuitive, and hyper-responsive EDC platform that provides eClinical software with a consumer-grade interface and next-generation performance. These best-in-class CRO services, paired with leading vendor partnerships like MLM, enable sponsors and patients accelerate the development of innovative treatments and technologies. "MLM is excited to join Vial in this integrated partnership. We look forward to helping Vial deliver faster, more efficient trials for biopharma sponsors. Alliances such as this allow partners to work smarter, combining unique expertise in clinical research with leading edge information technology that allows investigators and staff to focus on subjects - reducing queries and costly errors and ultimately saving time and valuable resources," said MLM CEO, Scott Houlton.
