"During the past year, Nextrials again proved itself to be at the forefront by completing the industry's first multi-site pilot study using an integrated electronic data capture (EDC) and electronic health records (EHR) platform," noted James Rogers, co-founder and CEO of Nextrials. "In 2009, we significantly upgraded Prism™, our clinical trial management platform, with ad hoc reporting capabilities and a more intuitive user interface. We also gained certification for compliance with the federally recognized Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel 's (HITSP) interoperability specifications. And we achieved all of this while upholding Nextrials' reputation as an organization that delivers the highest level of customer service."

The Inc. 5000 is a comprehensive look at American entrepreneurs. To be considered, companies must be U.S.-based and privately held, for profit and independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies. The 5000 companies that made the list reported aggregate revenue of $321.6 billion and median three-year growth of 96 percent, down from last year's 126 percent.
