ERT, a global data and technology company that captures critical endpoint data while minimizing uncertainty and risk in clinical trials, today announced an ERT record: 75% of the compounds approved by U.S. FDA in 2019 were developed using one or more of ERT’s eClinical solutions during the drug development process.

ERT delivers innovative imaging, cardiac safety, respiratory, and electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) solutions that help biopharmaceutical companies meet global regulators’ strict guidelines for demonstrating the safety and efficacy of new medical compounds.
