Patient selection can be a nuanced process in clinical trials, particularly those involving therapeutic areas with more complex or subjective inclusion/exclusion criteria. Determining patient eligibility may often depend on factors that require clinical expertise in such areas as disease progression, comorbidities, genetic mutations, and disease severity. Discover the role eligibility adjudication committees play in ensuring trial success.

EACs/CECs evaluate potential adverse events, participants’ safety, whether a patient meets complex eligibility criteria, and much more. Thus, the need to select the right EAC vendor is critical – selecting the wrong partner risks time, money, and success. With so many EAC vendors, it can be challenging to find the ideal partner. Fortunately, WCG has outlined the top five benefits of utilizing an independent EAC.

No clinical trial is successful without careful attention not only to how endpoints are crafted, but how they are reviewed and applied. This article will describe the use of Imaging Core Labs and Endpoint Adjudication Committees (EACs) to increase the quality and accuracy of clinical trial data. Additionally, it will clarify the differences between these critical endpoint review methods and other forms of safety review.
