TGen Drug Development Partnership with Imaging Endpoints Provides Comprehensive Clinical Trial Services for Drug Developers
TGen Drug Development (TD2) and Imaging Endpoints have teamed up to enable the rapid development of anti-cancer drugs and deliver them faster to patients in need, the companies announced.
“The highest quality medical imaging provided by Imaging Endpoints is one more weapon in TD2’s arsenal,” said Dr. Stephen Gately, president of TD2, which assists drug developers in navigating the regulatory maze involved in the successful completion of clinical trials and bringing new therapeutics to market. “Our relationship is meant to help combine the best available technologies.”
Imaging Endpoints will assist TD2 in the design and implementation of medical imaging analyses. Imaging Endpoints’ expertise in anatomic and functional imaging allows drug developers to best incorporate imaging into their clinical trials: probing molecular drug targets, assessing biologic responses and evaluating drug effectiveness.
“We hope that, through our new relationship with TD2, we will be able to assist oncology drug developers to maximize their return on investment in medical imaging during the course of their early-phase clinical trials,” said Dr. Ron Korn, Medical Director of Imaging Endpoints. “Significant resources and time can be saved through wise and appropriate implementation of medical imaging.”
The rapid completion of often time-consuming and costly clinical trials is needed to speed new treatments to the patients who need them, Dr. Gately said.
Imaging holds the potential to predict outcomes, shorten the time needed to evaluate if a drug is hitting its target, and do so with relatively low risk to patients. By using specific imaging techniques, researchers can assess if new drug compounds are effective in such areas as anti-proliferation, metabolism, and hypoxia.

AI in Clinical Trials: A Long, But Promising Road Ahead
May 29th 2024Stephen Pyke, chief clinical data and digital officer, Parexel, discusses how AI can be used in clinical trials to streamline operational processes, the importance of collaboration and data sharing in advancing the use of technology, and more.
Patient Engagement Platform Checklist
November 22nd 2024Modern clinical trials are more complex than ever, and one significant reason is the increased focus on patient engagement. Incorporating a patient engagement platform into your clinical trial enhances the patient experience and can lead to more successful trials with stronger, more reliable outcomes. We put together this helpful checklist of key features to look out for when choosing a platform for your study.
The Rise of Predictive Engagement Tools in Clinical Trials
November 22nd 2024Patient attrition can be a significant barrier to the success of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Today, with the help of AI-powered predictive engagement tools, clinical study managers are finding ways to proactively reduce attrition rates in RCTs, and increase the effectiveness of their trial. In this guide, we look at the role AI-powered patient engagement tools play in clinical research, from the problems they’re being used to solve to the areas and indications in which they’re being deployed.
