RadMD Reaches 150th Clinical Trial
Doylestown, PA
Completing a milestone, RadMD LLC announced that it has sourced readers for 150 clinical trials.
The most recent trial, conducted by ICON Medical Imaging for a leading pharmaceutical company, was designed to test the efficacy of a new treatment for metastatic kidney cancer. The trial used medical imaging to support the primary analysis of Progression Free Survival based on an independent central radiological review.
"The results of the reads showed that the drug delayed tumor growth by five months, with patients living twice as long without tumor growth as other cancer victims in the study's control arm. Ultimately, this provided the FDA with the information it needed to approve the drug," said Ted Gastineau, president and co-founder, ICON Medical Imaging.
RadMD sourced five radiologists with a specialty in oncology within one week of the request and helped with resources and scheduling - allowing completion of the analysis ahead of schedule. Each radiologist received formalized training and extensive testing on a variety of topics related to the use of medical imaging in clinical trials from the company's Blinded Reader and Investigator Training Institute (BRITI)(TM). All CT scans, MRIs and bone scans obtained at baseline during the treatment period and the follow-up period were sent to the independent imaging core lab at ICON Medical Imaging.
"By facilitating a key component of the clinical trial process, RadMD helps pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies reduce clinical development time, thus getting important anti-cancer and other treatments to the market more quickly," said Dr. Shamsi.

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.
