Imagepace offers a seamless set of services to connect imaging requirements with other clinical components of the study. The centralized core lab manages standard, as well as innovative, imaging modalities, including MRI, CT, PET, X-ray, ultrasound, and DEXA .

In cardiology, Imagepace is the global leader in the use of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) as a measure of atherosclerosis progression in clinical trials. These services include central reading of images, a network of imaging sites, and a coordinated data management system.

Led by a team of cardiology specialists, Imagepace has refined the technology and processes of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) imaging. cIMT is emerging as the key validated method of directly measuring atherosclerosis progression.

With a network of imaging sites, Imagepace utilizes standardized training and processes to conduct clinical trials with a cIMT endpoint. Centralized reading is provided at one of three facilities, located in the US, Europe, and China. At all Imagepace centers, images are read by Image Analysts who have been formally trained. They use identical hardware and software and follow identical standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Imagepace uses state-of-the-art validated technologies that meet 21 CFR Part 11 criteria and adhere to U.S. and international regulatory requirements.

Imagepace handles the entire image collection process including:

• Study design and image protocol development
• Provision or coordination of standardized equipment
• Site selection and evaluation of on-site equipment applicability
• Maintenance oversight and reporting, including analysis of impact on data validity
• QA/QC, including site and equipment audits
• Study-specific training and certification of site staff
• Certified centralized reading services
• Database integration
• Regulatory submission preparation
• Seamless integration with other study-related services such as IVRS, Web-based reporting, and study management

ImageTrak stores and manages the data from all imaging and reading centers. This powerful, proprietary software program integrates image tracking, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and data management.

Whatever the study, ImageTrak readily handles the images and data -- even analog images from previous studies that were not created in a digital format. Analysis can be performed for inclusion/exclusion criteria assessment, on an ongoing basis throughout the study, and as a batch analysis as subjects complete the study. All analyses can be performed in a blinded fashion based on study-specific requirements.

Technician feedback and reporting are built in, so imaging centers can quickly identify and correct any potential issues. ImageTrak also provides timely status reports so sponsors can track the progress of the study.

The Imagepace team brings vast clinical trial experience to the disciplined management of imaging services.

International thought leaders and experts in the use of cIMT as a surrogate endpoint, John Kastelein MD (Europe) and Daniel O'Leary MD (North America) are integral members of the Imagepace management team.
