 has advanced its hybrid central lab model in Mumbai with a state-of-the art operational facility dedicated to manage clinical trials testing in India and provide study support throughout Asia Pacific. Working in conjunction with the largest diagnostic lab in the region, ACM Global oversees the full complement of study support to keep clinical trials on schedule and on budget, including kit building, shipping logistics, projectmanagement, data management, and site support.

“We have been able to build a local team that thoroughly understands the nuances of the market, plus the systems and process at ACM Global to maintain our high global standard for global clinical trial testing,” said Nandan Rao, director, India and general manager, Asia Pacific at ACM Global Central Lab.

ACM Global first established an operational footprint in India seven years ago, and established its hybrid lab model three years ago to support increased activity in the Asia Pacific region. This has enabled ACM Global to take advantage of an established, regional central lab while benefitting from its own advanced data management systems for the centralization and harmonization of test data. With a local staff, data is integrated immediately with the centralized database, and shipping and logistics are navigated at the local level, which means tighter specimen controls and lower total costs to the sponsor.

All studies conducted by the CAP-certified lab are assured precise analytical data managed from a central location with one harmonized database
