THIS SESSION COVERS:

Summary

Effective sample management in clinical trials has traditionally been underestimated, with planning often limited to sample types and collection timepoints. Critical aspects such as intended sample use, feasibility, resource allocation, logistics, shipping, and post-trial arrangements have frequently been overlooked or simply not had the expertise to appropriately support them. Additionally, unclear delineation of responsibilities between Trial Managers and collaborating laboratories has led to poor communication, resource gaps, delays, and a lack of transparency.

 

This session covers:

  • Embedding appropriate sample collection into clinical trial design and resourcing
  • Sample handling legislation  
  • Sample collection and handling documentation
  • Sample management and logistics
  • Quality assurance and oversight of sample handling
  • Post-trial sample arrangements

This session is taking place in person in NOC, ND08.
