In this talk, Almac will explore the realities of running next-generation sequencing (NGS) liquid biopsy panels in biomarker-driven clinical trials from a CLIA laboratory diagnostic provider viewpoint.
Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges of NGS liquid biopsy panels and the critical steps involved in ensuring that they are ready for stratification use within clinical trials, as demonstrated by a biotech case study from Almac Diagnostic Services.
Almac Diagnostic Services has experience in both the development & analytical validation of blood-based molecular biomarkers so that the assays are both robust and compliant with appropriate global regulatory frameworks for prospective clinical trial stratification.
Register for this webinar to hear about the opportunities and challenges of NGS liquid biopsy panels.
