Solutions FAQ
The key criteria are a harmonized global laboratory network with consistent SOPs across regions; accreditations aligned with your regulatory submission (CAP, CLIA, ISO 15189, GCP); proven experience in your therapeutic area; integrated logistics and sample chain-of-custody; real-time data visibility; and scientific oversight from people who understand your study design.
Yes, and consolidating both with one partner typically reduces operational complexity, eliminates data reconciliation between providers, and shortens timelines.
Cerba Research provides specialty and central laboratory services through one integrated operational model, which means biomarker, bioanalysis, and routine safety testing all run on coordinated workflows, with a single point of project management and a unified data pipeline. This is particularly valuable for biomarker-driven, translational, and adaptive trials where specialty and routine data need to be analyzed together.
Clinical trial laboratories should hold accreditations relevant to the regions and submissions they support, commonly including CAP (College of American Pathologists), CLIA, ISO 15189, ISO 17025, and GCP/GCLP compliance, alongside method validation aligned with FDA, EMA, and ICH guidance.
Sponsors should also confirm that quality systems extend to sample handling, chain of custody, data integrity, and assay validation. Cerba Research operates harmonized quality systems across its global lab network to support regulatory submissions worldwide.
