This webinar will explore how standardized endpoint definition in clinical trials is necessary to facilitate accurate evaluation and comparison of drugs across clinical trials as well as to identify early safety signals. To accomplish this, goals must be established in order to:
- Consistently, accurately and reproducibly capture clinical concepts and standardize the terminology used to describe diseases, events and procedures
- Establish a universal clinical vocabulary to serve as a foundation for clinical research with the ultimate goal of improving the assessment of process, performance, and outcomes across multiple dimensions of healthcare
Attendees will also learn industry best practices when choosing the right independent clinical endpoint adjudication committee. Selecting the right partner to perform objective endpoint reviews, supported by intuitive technology, directly correlates to clinical trial success.
