Biomarkers can play an important role at every stage of drug development, from drug discovery to pre-clinical evaluation and to clinical trials. This presentation examines the integrated biomarker services capabilities provide by Covance R&D Laboratories within and outside China. Utilizing a global network of central labs, both clinical development biomarkers as well as exploratory research biomarkers can be incorporated in clinical trials, including oncology trials that often have complex needs for various types of genomics and anatomic pathology biomarkers and genomics services, at regional and global scales.
