Custom approaches to clinical data mining

BioVisualization:  Data Analysis, Visualization and Interpretation

Large, complex data sets are generated throughout the course of a clinical trial.  Understanding the underlying trends is vital to making critical decisions.  However, data analysis can be challenging, time consuming and tedious.  LabConnect’s BioVisualization proprietary software platform is a tool that enables effective data mining and ease of interpretation.  By visualizing your clinical trial data in diverse ways—clearly and simply—you can identify important trends in your study results.  Customizable figures are generated at the push of a button and provide you with a wealth of insights.  These findings will facilitate time and cost saving decisions in areas such as medical and investigator site monitoring.

Quality starts at the point of collection.  Laboratory collection kits that are easy to use and delivered on time are an important element of a successful clinical trial.  That’s why LabConnect develops simple, elegantly designed kits that help reduce site errors.  We are consistently rated by investigator sites as the top performing laboratory in this category.  Here’s why:

• 99.8% (last 24 month average) of collection kits and supplies are sent on-time to sites.
• Resupplies are typically shipped within three to five days of request.
• Shippers have customized, pre-formatted air-bills attached—the site is not required to complete any paperwork.
• Collection tubes are pre-labeled to minimize error.
• Detailed instructions are provided in a laboratory manual customized for each study.

Accurate and timely data begins with detailed and proven processes.  At LabConnect, we’ve combined these processes with a state-of-the-art data management platform ensuring delivery of clean data according to your exact specifications.  Upon study award, we will establish your global data and information management plan.  The components of the plan typically include:

• Database structure.
• Custom flags and alerts.
• Methods and timing of data delivery.
• Protocol management reports; standard and custom.
• Ttraining plan for Web portal and specimen tracking tools.

A highly experienced lead Project Manager (PM) will be assigned to lead your study.  Your PM will serve as your primary contact and will be responsible for the execution of all laboratory related aspects of your trial.  For global projects your US-based PM will be supported by a team of regional project managers for day-to-day coordination of study activities.

LabConnect’s project management teams have supported hundreds of clinical trials worldwide and average more than five years of experience, ranging from small, single-site studies to large, global studies with complex testing and logistical requirements.  The project coordinators are appointed based on geographical locations for enhanced support.

Increasingly complex biomarker and other specialized testing requirements present a significant challenge to sample testing, logistics and storage.  Drug development requires a comprehensive, real-time grasp of exactly what samples you have, where they are, and how they are collected, shipped, processed and stored.  That’s what our sample tracking services deliver to you.
