USA - INC Research Promotes Clinical Trials Innovation to Support Big Thinking at DIA 2012 Annual Meeting


Global CRO Discusses New Approaches to Maximizing Drug Pipelines and Forging Collaborative Alliances, Highlights Growing Asia/Pacific Region

Raleigh, N.C., June 21, 2012 INC Research, LLC, a therapeutically focused clinical research organization (CRO) with a Trusted ProcessR  for delivering reliable results, will  be showcasing the latest innovations in  clinical trial development and partnering strategies at the 2012 DIA Annual Meeting from June 24 - 28 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

INC Research executives will be available at booth #1901 to advance the conversation on maximizing drug pipelines, including innovative alliance models that drive efficiencies and regional expertise in underutilized areas to optimize drug development efforts.

"CROs are no longer simply considered simply clinical trial outsourcing vendors. Rather, sponsors are looking to CROs to bring new tools and approaches to the table for a competitive edge when bringing drugs to market," said James Ogle, CEO, INC Research. "On top of our deep therapeutic expertise, global capabilities and operational excellence, we are at the forefront of innovation for all stages of the clinical trial process - from concept through commercialization. We always look forward to DIA as a forum to share our insights and engage on a deeper level of discussion to propel the industry forward."

In particular, INC Research representatives will be available to discuss recent developments in:

-       Strategic alliances - Compare and contrast the current prevailing partnership models and how they apply in different scenarios: Clinical delivery alliances, asset transfer alliances and Functional Service Provider (FSP) relationships. 

-       Conducting trials in Asia/Pacific - Examine risks and rewards of navigating new global regions, regulatory environments and local population nuances across Australia, China and India. 

-       Risk-based monitoring - Deliberate alternative monitoring approaches based on recent guidance for source verification, including Targeted Source Document Verification (TSDV) and "triggered" monitoring. 

The Company's thought leaders are also participating in several educational sessions focusing on a range of topics from innovative partnering models and advances in adaptive clinical trial design to regulatory reform for medical devices in Asia.
