When a clinical trial requires local or point-of-care laboratory testing, managing the resulting data can be a significant burden to both the sponsor and the investigator sites. There are several factors driving the need for local lab support during clinical trials. Lab reports vary greatly across the globe; remote labs and investigator sites may not have IT support; and point of care testing can involve remote testing or satellite lab testing near a patient. Also, some lab data challenges include multiple vendor usage, additional site burden and consistency issues.
Therefore, managing local labs can require extensive clinical trial management and sponsor oversight.
