Quotient Announces the First Use of ivMicrotracer to Support a Regulatory Drug Approval Submission
Quotient Clinical
announced that absolute bioavailability data from an
iv
MicrotracerTM study has been used to support a submission for regulatory drug approval. The study was performed on behalf of Bristol Myers Squibb in support of OnglyzaTM (saxagliptin), a new medicine for Type 2 Diabetes.
Data generated in the study were included in regulatory filings to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) which has resulted in drug approval.
Applying
iv
Microtracer techniques in clinical studies allows intravenous PK and absolute bioavailability data to be generated within five months and at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional approaches. In addition,
iv
Microtracer techniques can be used in stand-alone studies, or integrated into any standard early development study, maximising the flexibility for generating these data.
Mark Egerton, MD of Quotient Clinical, commented: “We are delighted to have supported Bristol Myers Squibb on this study.
iv
Microtracer is a standard component of our development “toolbox,” allowing us to efficiently generate key supporting pharmacokinetic data sets for drug development teams.”

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
