Insightful Corporation Launches Insightful Clinical Graphics

iCG reduces the time and resources necessary to meet graphics requirements in drug discovery, development and marketing

SEATTLE - December 17, 2007 -

Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ: IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today the immediate availability of Insightful Clinical Graphics (iCG), a software and services solution for defining and repurposing statistical graphics across all functional areas in drug discovery, development and marketing.

With input from multiple life sciences companies, Insightful designed iCG to simplify the creation and re-use of statistical graphics and elimination of redundant work processes. From discovery and pre-clinical and clinical trials, through marketing and epidemiology, iCG enables scientific data to be presented as actionable information in clinical study reports, regulatory submissions, publications and presentations.

Today, highly skilled statistical programming talent is needed to reprogram, test and QA the numerous statistical graphs used for analysis and reporting of various studies’ data. iCG allows non-programming statisticians, clinicians and medical writers to apply customizable graph templates to study data, and to change a graph style, without compromising the data or the results displayed. iCG is designed to save pharmaceutical companies time and to assist in optimizing the deployment of their expensive statistical programming resources.

"Engaging non-technical workers in the decision-making process and exposing them to the power of statistical analysis represents a significant market opportunity," said Chris Connor, senior research analyst at Health Industry Insights, an IDC company. "In the life science industry, the increasing amount of data being generated is becoming counterproductive. Solutions that can distill data into actionable information and increase focus across the value chain stand to fundamentally change the development process."

“Insightful Clinical Graphics reduces the time and resources needed for graphical review and submission reporting of pre-clinical and clinical data, while providing consistent information flow between functional areas and regulatory agencies,” said Dr. Michael O’Connell, Director of Life Sciences for Insightful. “iCG’s statistical graphics palette and collaborative platform for graphical analysis enable pharmaceutical companies to identify safety and efficacy signals sooner, without burdening their expensive programming assets or risking the integrity of their analyses.”
