- Time:
Clinical trials generate a wealth of imaging data, but trial sponsors, site investigators, drug developers, and other stakeholders often can’t see it without extensive delays. Creating shared access—without compromising security or disrupting trial flow—would enable effective decisions around trial viability and optimization.
In this GEN webinar, experts from Perceptive Imaging and Flywheel explore how a modern shared imaging data platform can accelerate decision-making, improve data analysis, and increase data usability across the clinical trial ecosystem. They will discuss how validated imaging workflows can streamline operations while unlocking the full value of imaging data in early-stage and multi-center trials. Key takeaways from the webinar include:
- The challenges and opportunities in managing imaging data across clinical trial stakeholders, including sponsors, sites, and CROs with real-world insights from representatives at Perceptive Imaging and Flywheel.
- How compliant imaging workflows can enhance data governance, accelerate trial timelines, support regulatory readiness, and facilitate secondary data reuse—enabling faster access to critical insights.
- How Flywheel’s Validated imaging data management solution supports research and development from provenance to full compliance with a fully controlled, auditable environment that meets GxP, HIPAA, and 21 CFR Part 11.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentations, offering you a chance to pose questions to our expert panelists.
