Santa Clara, CA-July 30
After evaluating several automated cardiac safety solutions, a top-five pharmaceutical company named NewCardio's QTinno software suite, NewCardio's first commercial product, as the technology that will be used in all of its fully automated Thorough QT (TQT) studies.
QTinno will be the company's automated solution moving forward.
As part of this evaluation, a blinded TQT dataset was provided for processing by the automated solutions. The automated results were then un-blinded by the pharmaceutical company and compared to the original core lab results. The pharmaceutical company determined that NewCardio's solution demonstrated the highest consistency and lowest variability in relation to the original core lab results. After reviewing NewCardio's underlying platform technology, the pharmaceutical company determined that QTinno was the solution it will utilize to begin replacing the semi-automated methodology currently utilized by its preferred ECG core labs. At recent industry conferences, a number of pharmaceutical companies have expressed a strong desire to transition to fully automated methods in an effort to reduce human error, minimize intrinsic variability and increase efficiency.
Going forward, all TQT study requests for proposals (RFPs) issued by the pharmaceutical company that will require a fully automated component will require the use of NewCardio's QTinno(TM) by its preferred ECG core labs. It is anticipated that this pharmaceutical company will conduct its first clinical trial using fully automated readings by the end of the year and will increasingly utilize fully automated results in its TQT studies.
"NewCardio is excited to work with a major pharmaceutical company and we believe this is the clearest signal yet of the impending transition to fully automated cardiac testing in drug development as sponsors look for ways to improve quality while simultaneously reducing expenses," said Vincent Renz, NewCardio's President and Chief Operating Officer. "This global pharmaceutical leader is an early adopter, and this announcement demonstrates their commitment to quality, safety and the use of new technologies to drive innovation."

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
Making the Grade: Registries as Sources of Regulatory-Grade Real-World Evidence (RWE)
February 13th 2025Dr. Peter Wahl, MLA, MS, ScD, VP and Global Head of Scientific Affairs at CorEvitas, part of the PPD™ clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific, discusses the critical role of protocol-driven registries in generating regulatory grade RWE to serve multiple and evolving evidence needs across the drug development life cycle. He covers key considerations for selecting the right type of registry, the advantages over EMR datasets, and how registry data contextualizes safety and effectiveness to fulfill FDA and EMA post-marketing requirements.
