iCardiac Selected for Multiple Cardiac Safety Studies

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) June 15, 2009 -- iCardiac Technologies, Inc., a leader in advanced cardiac safety biomarker development and automated QT analysis, announced that it has been chosen by a medium sized pharmaceutical company for cardiac safety evaluation comprising multiple Thorough QT (TQT) Studies.

iCardiac will use its FDA accepted Highly Automated QT method for all contracted studies in addition to using iCardiac's QTbtb(sm) method for avoiding false positives. The sponsor selected iCardiac because of both iCardiac's cardiac safety expertise in relation to complex drug development programs as well as the extensive validation of iCardiac's COMPAS technology. COMPAS Highly Automated QT leads the industry in validation and deployments covering over 1.5 million ECGs analyzed with partners including pharmaceutical companies, academia, regulators, as well as having been cross validated with result from five leading ECG core labs.

"We are enthusiastic about the markets continued acceptance of iCardiac's Highly Automated QT solution," said Sasha Latypova, Executive Vice President. "In addition to increasing the robustness of cardiac safety evaluation and reducing the likelihood of false positives through the use of iCardiac's proprietary QTbtb method, the sponsor will realize increased economic efficiencies in comparison to traditional QT studies."
