Designing Trials with Biospecimens in Mind: Creating Best Practice for a Data-Driven Future
Tue, Oct 13, 2026 · 4:32–4:57 PM CEST InterContinental Barcelona
About this session
Trials are designed with clinical and exploratory endpoints in mind. To operationalize generation of data to investigate these endpoints, a visit schedule is constructed, and during these visits, participants are asked to give numerous physical samples for lab testing. Currently, ~14 billion lab tests are performed annually. As the substrate for lab tests, specimens and quality specimen management practices are key to reproducible results, critical for training AI models, and yet, paradoxically, industry-wide best practices for specimen management don't exist. Come hear about our roadmap to build best practice in this new domain, and how these considerations may influence your trial design.
