Web seminar: Guidelines on imaging evaluation criteria for clinical trials of anti-tumor drugs published in China

On January 15, 2021, China CDE (Center for Drug Evaluation) published guidelines on image evaluation criteria for anti-tumor drug clinical trials. In recent years, a large number of clinical trials related to anti-cancer drugs have been conducted in China, and the number of clinical trials that use medical imaging evaluation from the early development stage is on the rise.

We are pleased to announce that our partner CRO in China, Proswell Medical Company, has invited Professor Ukihide Tateishi of Tokyo Medical and Dental University to present a web seminar at Proswell University. In this seminar, we will compare the CDE guidance and the Clinical Trial Imaging Endpoint Process Standards Guidance for Industry released by the US FDA in 2018, and explain the importance of standardization in imaging trials with our experience.
