Dr. El Mustapha Bahassi, Associate Director of Clinical Laboratories at Medpace gives an overview of Central laboratories and the evolving world of immuno-oncology as well as current immuno-oncology biomarkers and detection methods.
Life sciences companies are embracing the essential roles that real world data (RWD) and the generation of real world evidence (RWE) play in the development of new treatments for patients.This paper will explore three areas where RWD and RWE are being applied to improve the design and execution of clinical studies.
This paper is intended as a discussion of the commonly encountered hurdles in studying rare diseases and how a cohesive and holistic approach can mitigate issues and help bring new treatments to patients.
Clinical supply chain planning is imperative, as it allows you to develop a strategy and best practices for quickly and efficiently delivering goods to support all the needs of the trial. But, where do you begin?
Preventing patients from receiving “counterfeit, diverted, sub-potent, substandard, adulterated, misbranded, or expired drugs” is a critical element of the mission of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Chain of custody for genetic and cell therapies differs and is more complex than for traditional pharmaceuticals, and the requirements for documentation vary as well.
A common issue regarding “faltering” studies – studies that are not satisfying their time, cost, and quality parameters – is poor recruitment. Recruitment issues can delay deadlines and jeopardize the drug’s ultimate approval, if left unresolved. If your study is struggling because of recruitment issues, here are some considerations that can be used to rescue your clinical trial.
New research on how people make decisions about research participation, and new approaches to the question of payments and compensation to participants, bring a new perspective; are payments to participants actually too low? This paper explores this question, and whether we should, in fact, worry much less about restricting compensation for research participants.
Approximately 20% of cancer clinical trials will never be completed, because they fail to enroll enough participants to be able to answer the research question. Read this white paper to learn the impact that participant payments may play on clinical trial recruitment.
For all its demographic promise, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has been slow to emerge as a center for US and EU biotech clinical drug research. Patient access in this region is now a strong motivator. Read further observations about the future of the APAC region in biotech drug research.
We’re now only beginning to understand how the microbiome influences our health and behavior and vice versa. As we learn more about its connection to a host of diseases and disorders, we expect to see specific bacterial molecules as potential druggable targets.
