NASH Clinical Trials: Challenges and Considerations, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO, June 28, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Join Andrew Roche, Ph.D., a senior member of ICON’s NASH team, on Tuesday, July 17, 2018, at 11a.m. EDT (4 p.m. BST/UK) as he speaks about overcoming the challenges and considerations associated with NASH clinical trials and examines potential strategies to address these challenges during trial design or study execution.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of clinical conditions which range from the relatively benign hepatic steatosis to the more serious non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which puts subjects at significant risk of liver failure, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Currently, there are no approved medicines to treat subjects with or at risk of developing NASH. However, a number of pioneering companies have taken up the challenge to address this unmet clinical need. One of the many challenges encountered during this process is the process of enrolling subjects into a clinical trial via utilization of centralized assessments of liver biopsy specimens. During the course of this discussion, ICON will share considerations that will aid cost-effective and timely enrollment of subjects.
Dr. Roche is Scientific Director of Global Validation and Scientific Affairs at ICON, a leader in clinical development for the biopharmaceutical industry.
