Invicro scientists, Drs. Alex Whittington and Roger Gunn, are co-authors of this pioneering research which describes the development and validation of TauIQ as a superior method for the quantitative analysis of Tau PET biomarker data in Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trials. TauIQ demonstrated a 2-3-fold increase in power over currently available methods and promises to increase the value of tau imaging endpoints for decision making in clinical trials.
“This groundbreaking approach will have a significant impact on clinical imaging trials in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The improved signals provided by TauIQ will increase power for the longitudinal assessment of therapeutic interventions and also help in the stratification of early AD populations as part of trial eligibility. With the ever-increasing importance that Pharma companies are placing on tau as an endpoint in AD clinical trials this is particularly timely,” stated Dr. Roger Gunn, Chief Scientific Officer, Neuroscience for Invicro and Professor of Molecular NeuroImaging at Imperial College London.
Invicro is a global provider of imaging biomarkers, core lab services, advanced analytics and software solutions for drug discovery and development. TauIQ analytics are now deployed in Invicro’s Core Lab delivering 21 CFR Part 11 compliant analyses supporting regulatory submissions.
