Health Canada Extends its Partnership with LORENZ to Continue to Use LORENZ docuBridge Exclusively for 5 More Years

PHILADELPHIA, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of Health Canada reviewers already use LORENZ docuBridge in production on a daily basis, and will now continue to do so for the next five years.  "We have been the chosen solution at Health Canada since 2006, so the extension of our contract for 5 more years is a gratifying vote of confidence and a testament to the quality of the products and services we have been providing," said Yaprak Eisinger, Managing Director, North America for LORENZ Life Sciences Group.  

Some of the reasons for Health Canada deciding to continue their exclusive production use of LORENZ docuBridge and LORENZ eValidator were based on their own published studies showing significant benefits from the e-Review project. The benefits include 94% of Reviewers finding the LORENZ docuBridge easy to use and 82% finding LORENZ docuBridge meets or exceeds their needs. Health Canada currently has over 600 Reviewers trained, accessing over 25,000 e-Submission sequences stored in LORENZ docuBridge in both eCTD and non-eCTD formats.

By having a strong e-Review solution capable of consistently managing many electronic formats, Health Canada has been able to boost efficiency and internal benefits.  Meanwhile, supporting non-eCTD has also provided a stepping stone to full eCTD filings, which have improved in quality and increased at over 10% per year over the past few years. Based on Health Canada's own published statistics, eCTD validation errors have declined dramatically over the years to only about 2% since LORENZ docuBridge was chosen.  Most issues at this point are either business issues (e.g. missing attestation letters) or are easily detected by the LORENZ eValidator available for free from www.lorenz.cc.

A growing number of world agencies now prefer to use LORENZ software to view incoming submissions. "Our code is one and the same whether we install LORENZ docuBridge at Health Canada, a pharmaceutical company in Japan, the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Services (BfArM,) or a CRO in California," said Wolfgang Witzel, President, LORENZ Life Sciences Group, adding that "LORENZ docuBridge is the leading choice in industry and agencies in that it is not a point solution for a given agency, but a truly global solution."
