Clinical trials offer great challenges to those who accept the daunting odds of success but they do so knowing that successful outcomes will have extensive benefits, first and foremost to patients impacted by the condition in question but also to society, financial stakeholders and to the careers of those who navigate a course through the challenges. Addressing these challenges via use of high quality tools is critical to successful completion of a clinical trial.
This webinar will focus on specific analytical test solutions offered by ICON Central Laboratory for Type II Diabetes that enable the creation of high quality laboratory data sets which in turn enable an accurate and efficient assessment of the test compound. It will focus on solutions which address clinical trial challenges including global laboratory harmonisation, accurately defining clinical status via laboratory endpoints, longitudinal trending of subjects and management of analyte stability and analytical interference. It is the belief of ICON Central Laboratories that these considered solutions will provide high quality options that will increase the opportunity for success for those undertaking the challenge posed by drug development.
