As the primary and secondary end points in a majority of pulmonary clinical trials, obtaining high quality pulmonary function data is of paramount importance. While variability is inherent in such
effort dependent testing, engaging the centralization and professional review services of an experienced clinical trial service provider can increase reproducibility and quality of data captured creating cost efficiencies.
Learning Objectives:
- How centralized spirometry can improve clinical data
- Reducing study costs by centralizing data
- Quality issues impacting spirometry data
- International guidelines for quality
- Challenges in centralized spirometry trials
