Sample & Biospecimen Management in Clinical Trials

The availability of high quality biological specimens is of utmost importance for clinical trials and future research. Regulations exist to provide direction in many aspects of clinical research conduct, however more formal regulations that direct the collection and management of biospecimens is needed. The 2014 Sample & Biospecimen Management in Clinical Trials conference brings together leading experts, representing clinical trial sites and sponsors, to discuss challenges and identify actions to improve biospecimen collection, storage, operations, biobanking, and the resulting data for both the clinical trial at hand and future use.
