Medidata Rave Selected by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals for Enterprise-Wide EDC Deployment



    Medidata Solutions, a global provider of electronic clinical data
    capture (EDC), management and reporting solutions, today announced
    that Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth (NYSE: WYE), has
    selected Medidata Rave(R) as its enterprise-wide EDC solution. This
    strategic partnership with Medidata will further enhance Wyeth's
    clinical operations and build upon successful EDC programs already in
    place.

    "The deployment of EDC technology has been an extremely important
    initiative at Wyeth - in the past 11 months, we have increased the
    rate of EDC usage in trials to more than 90 percent," said Ira
    Spector, Vice President of Clinical Development Operations at Wyeth
    Research. "The implementation of Medidata Rave is critical to our
    ability to further increase and maximize our EDC usage while
    continuing to improve the overall productivity of our R&D
    organization."

    One of the top 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world,
    Wyeth plans to conduct several hundred global studies using Medidata
    Rave during a seven-year term, with the first trial beginning in the
    first quarter of 2008.

    In order to select its next-generation EDC solution that would
    support the increasing volume of its R&D pipeline, Wyeth conducted an
    evaluation of vendors in 2006. Wyeth narrowed its selection to two
    leading companies and chose Medidata Solutions for Rave's breadth of
    functionality as well as the company's depth of experience in the
    marketplace and overall corporate culture. Wyeth anticipates Medidata
    Rave will bring higher productivity and increased efficiencies and
    also offer a range of ease-of-use capabilities to the investigators
    that are of such critical importance to the clinical trial process.

    "We are extremely pleased that Wyeth has selected Medidata Rave as
    its enterprise-wide EDC solution and are committed to collaborating
    with the company to advance its clinical processes," said Tarek
    Sherif, CEO at Medidata Solutions. "Wyeth's strategic decision to move
    to Medidata Rave as its EDC standard is further proof that our
    industry-leading technology is the system of choice for life sciences
    companies of all sizes. Over the past two years, we have seen the
    industry increasingly move to global, enterprise-wide implementations
    of Medidata Rave, reflecting the versatility and scalability of our
    product and services."
