February 2021 - QuartzBio

Join QuartzBio at the SCOPE 2021 virtual conference for the “Clinical Biomarkers Operations and Innovation” track on March 2.

PRESENTATION: “Centralizing PK, Clinical, and Exploratory Biospecimen Data to Streamline Trial Operations & Intelligence”

Clinical samples are frequently a logistical headache – managed too often in Excel files that are time-consuming to update, and quickly fall out of date. Modern biomarker-centric programs demand a focused strategy to provide timely visibility into sample availability and quality.

Dr. Tobi Guennel will share how clinical teams are leveraging technology to quickly and efficiently gain visibility into their clinical samples across sites, labs, and storage facilities.

February 12, 2021 — Integrating clinical and biomarker data enables both operational insights as well as scientific insights that can help teams make clinical trial decisions on-study.

Our last article defined the synthesis of these insights as translational intelligence, with the potential to illuminate key insights in drug development just as business intelligence is used to optimize business performance. We showed that, for example, having all the biomarker and clinical data linked together enables sponsors to quickly explore the relationship between drug response status and specific biomarkers of interest.

In this post, we further illustrate how translational intelligence works in practice with example applications. Translational intelligence not only illuminates key trends that may be missed through manual data review, but it also facilitates the seamless exploration of interlinked clinical, PK, and exploratory biomarker data assets.

Title: Critical On-Study Biomarker KPIs for Modern Trials – Part 2: Integrating Data Silos to Unlock Scientific Insights and Empower Translational Teams

Duration: 45 minutes

You will learn how to:

Expand your use of exploratory biomarker data in combination with clinical metadata for on-study analytics
Centralize integrated biomarker and clinical data as a single source of truth to expedite drug development decisions and enable translational exploration
Leverage dashboards to support collaboration and quickly surface actionable insights

February 3, 2021 — In this brief, we explore Translational Intelligence – that is, navigating the vast biomarker data ecosystem to quickly uncover insights that would be missed by visual inspection alone, and which enable translational teams to focus on the right pathways, biological mechanisms, and / or patient populations.

February 1, 2021 — Translational and clinical researchers everywhere are harnessing public multiomics data sets to accelerate R&D. Renée Deehan, Ph.D., VP of Computational Biology at QuartzBio, described the enormous potential of public, real-world data at a panel discussion hosted by OBN.
