The voice of MASH investigators
Global survey provides insights for trial operations
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a component of metabolic syndrome, is an area of very active clinical development. To help determine the impact of this competitive environment for available and qualified site resources, as well as eligible patients, ICON undertook a global survey of MASH clinical trial sites across 37 different countries.
Digital solutions to alleviate MASH clinical trial challenges
The performance of MASH clinical trials presents many challenges unique to the field. Watch the on-demand webinar to learn about:
- The ability for digital technologies MRI, MRE and whole slide imaging to address MASH clinical trial challenges
- The ability of MRI and MRE to provide timely, high quality non-invasive solutions to enrolment
- The ability of whole slide imaging to facilitate rapid complex workflows that assure consistent high quality assessments of primary efficacy endpoints by enabling expert histopathologists to interact remotely and in real time.
Helping MASH study sites to succeed
Get insights and feedback from our extensive MASH study experience, and the findings from ICON’s survey of more than 2,000 sites across 30 countries including:
- How to best support global MASH sites to succeed in a competitive environment
- Optimising the operational strength of study sites to collectively support the MASH pipeline
- How understanding global and regional nuances can enhance MASH site patient recruitment and operational strategy
