QuartzBio Helps Keep Oncology Trial on Track at a Clinical-Stage Biotech 

A clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company has been developing novel therapeutics that selectively modulate gene expression to address unmet medical needs in cancer patients.  

To keep their phase I study of an epigenetic modulator on track, the program’s translational research team needed to be able to monitor clinical outcomes with respect to patients and with respect to biomarker-defined subgroups. 

To achieve this goal, the team needed to manage multiple data streams: 

  • Central lab sample inventory 
  • EDC/Clinical data 
  • Assay results data from multiple specialty labs, including IHC, flow cytometry, PK, and gene expression 

Biomarker Data Management (BDM) & virtual Sample Inventory Management (vSIM) 

In weeks, QuartzBio deployed its vSIM and BDM solutions to the clinical trial in progress, enabling the translational research team to: 

  • Gain centralized visibility into status of samples as they move from sites to central and specialty labs 
  • Revealed insights on actual samples collected vs. expected samples collected 
  • Generate hypotheses based on biomarker assay results linked to patient clinical data and dosage information 
  • Eliminate time-consuming and manual data cleaning and cross-referencing processes
