Join QuartzBio at the 8th Annual Bioinformatics Strategy Meeting East Coast USA for the “Omics-Driven Approaches” track on 23 May 2022.

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: “Turning Multi-omic Data Chaos into Translational Insights”

Mike Waters of QuartzBio will facilitate a discussion among 10-15 industry leaders around critical topics relevant to biomarker-rich clinical trials:

February 18, 2022 — At our first in-person conference in over a year, the QuartzBio team had a chance to connect with biomarker operations and clinical operations teams in Orlando, Florida, earlier this month.

In the “Clinical Biomarkers Operations and Innovation” track, we joined discussions on the latest approaches to structuring clinical sample management to best support complex biomarker-informed clinical trials.

Here are three recurring challenges we heard about at SCOPE this year:

Title: Keeping Track of Clinical Samples in Biomarker-Rich Clinical Trials

Duration: 30 minutes

Learn how clinical operations and translational teams are creating “sponsor-centric” visibility to reconcile sample status and location on-study.

Join QuartzBio at the SCOPE 2022 Summit for the “Clinical Biomarkers Operations and Innovation” track on February 8-9.

PRESENTATION: “30 Days to an Annotated Virtual Repository — Without Changing DTAs”

Clinical and biomarker operations teams can create ongoing visibility into sample collection, processing and testing by linking biospecimen metadata, informed consent, and biomarker data across multiple LIMS and inventories.
Mike Waters will share how teams are using technology to access a single source of truth for sample inventory management.

Title: Advancing Clinical Sample Management with a Virtual Sample Repository

Duration: 30 minutes

You’ll see how a virtual repository delivered via QuartzBio’s translational hub provides visibility into clinical sample status:

Sample visibility across studies, central labs, third party vendors, biorepositories, and disparate source systems
KPI dashboards that report sample status including collection, processing, testing, consent, expiration – while highlighting collection gaps and discrepancies.
Dynamic visualizations to quickly review expected vs actual sample status by patient, time point, and assay type

Title: Transcending Biomarker Data Chaos: How Integrating Disparate PK, Clinical & Exploratory Data Enables Deep Translational Insights

Duration: 30 minutes

You will see how teams unlock translational intelligence:

Navigate vast exploratory data – identify trends and data points of interest
Surface insights – analyze biomarker trends in collaborative dashboards across subject IDs, time points, response status, and treatment groups
Access data rapidly – point and click navigation to underlying data files to interrogate the raw data behind the summary values
Interrogate cross assay – map to a common data dictionary to enable rapid interrogation of trends across assay modalities: within and across studies

Title: Overcoming Clinical Sample Chaos: A Critical Step in Biomarker-Rich Trials

Duration: 45 minutes

You’ll see how a technology-enabled approach to clinical sample inventory management delivers:

Sample KPI dashboards for clinical, translational, & data management teams
Visibility into sample collection, processing, and consent status
Dynamic visualizations to quickly review expected vs actual sample status by patient, time point, and assay type

Title: Translational Intelligence: Exploring IO Signatures in Clinical Trial Genomic Data

Duration: 30 minutes

You will learn how to:

Visualize gene alterations and tumor mutational burden (TMB) using heatmaps and tables, with subject and time point granularity.
Identify genes of interest and candidate signatures using visualization and statistical methods to relate clinical response data and gene expression data to regions of genomic alteration.
Correlate genomic data with known signatures of immuno-oncology (IO) response through integrations with public data, knowledgebases and sponsor data.
Define patient subgroups to generate deeper biological/ mechanistic insights.

April 2, 2021 — Gene expression biomarkers can help predict clinical outcomes in response to treatment with pathway-targeting therapeutics, thereby helping to identify patient subgroups likely to respond.

In a collaboration with investigators at Isofol Medical AB, the QuartzBio team analyzed the correlation between expression of folate pathway genes and clinical outcomes in response to a combination therapy targeting this pathway in metastatic colorectal cancer, as part of a Phase III clinical trial.

They identified potential prognostic markers with clinical benefit, and presented the results at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI).

March 8, 2021 — At last week’s SCOPE 2021 virtual summit for clinical operations executives and their partners, an overarching theme was the increased speed of clinical operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Speed — is this the new normal? Can we as organizations support that ramped-up speed … with the resources that we all have?” asked moderator Michael Tanen, Director, Clinical Biomarker Specimen Management, Merck & Co., at Tuesday’s panel discussion in the Clinical Biomarkers Operations & Innovations track.

QuartzBio’s SVP of Data Management and Systems Integration, Tobi Guennel, joined leaders from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, AbbVie, and Covance for this live panel.
