Scientific Expertise

Choosing an imaging partner with experience in successfully implementing and delivering complex medical imaging trials is critical when your study endpoints are at stake. At Calyx, we devote dedicated, on-staff scientific expertise to support your study from start to finish. This includes proven processes in acquisition guideline development and site training to charter development, criteria implementation, reviewer training, and data monitoring.

Calyx’s scientific and medical team of 75 full-time imaging experts are here to ensure that we design and deploy the right solutions specifically tailored to meet your individual research requirements. And you can have confidence in our reviewer network, which includes over 1,100 board-certified readers, made up of industry leaders, criteria authors, and radiology
department chairs.

Image Management

At Calyx we’ve instituted a culture of “No image left behind.” Our process for quality control and reads standardizes and normalizes image data during the course of a trial, enabling us to consistently meet two-day turnaround times for image feedback. As a result, you receive results faster to receive critical go/no-go decisions, and your sites receive feedback sooner to help them improve efficiencies.

Project Management

Operationally, Calyx’s project leadership staff are trained to offer mature and consultative management of your trial to make actions clear and ensure milestones are achieved.

Our medical imaging experience is drawn from managing over 2,600 studies to date which include approximately 3.9 million images from sites in over 80 countries.

Imaging Done Right

It takes more than just technology to manage an imaging trial well and deliver data that visualizes safety, efficacy and effectiveness. Calyx delivers deep-rooted scientific expertise to plan and govern, a tested process of handling data efficiently and with limited site burden, and well-designed systems to help your trial succeed.

Reliable Reads. Every Time.

Your images deserve to be evaluated by the best minds.

Calyx’s approach to medical imaging provides flexibility, scalability and rapid deployment while ensuring the highest quality, every time. Image review personnel undergo rigorous training and testing to deliver high-quality analysis data based on independent and unbiased image evaluations.

Our radiologists are the most esteemed and respected physicians in the world. As active practitioners, they have a current understanding of the disease and its impact on patients.

Our use of smart technology — i.e., auto-population of measurements into CRFs and edit checks on criteria rules — removes noise and allows them to do what they do best: analyze your medical images.

Located throughout North America, Europe, China and India, our readers have experience in the unique requirements of performing blinded independent reads for clinical trials. We partner with world-class hospitals and have established on-site labs, enabling radiologists to read within their clinical schedule or from home workstations for complete flexibility.

FULL SERVICE

We train your sites, receive and QC your images, author charters and all critical documents, engage and have images read by expert independent radiologists, and provide fully validated data exports with medical QC and outlier review built in.

EXPLORATORY / EARLY PHASE STUDIES

Scalable, “Follow the molecule” solutions

COLLECT AND HOLD

Balance risk and budget by waiting to have images read until you are sure you need the data and when that signal is known. Ensure that you’re not late to market because we have your images, ready to read, and ready for you to provide data to regulatory agencies.

RETROSPECTIVE / RESCUE

We tell the truth, lay out the risks, and help you make the hardest decisions to support your ultimate goal of moving drug development forward. We have supported hundreds of retrospective and rescue trials.

BREAKTHROUGH

We’ve guided over 70 Breakthrough Therapy trials. In fact, Calyx Imaging supported the majority of Breakthrough Therapy approvals granted by the FDA in 2019/20. Our imaging experts have seen it all and can share an insider’s view of what happens when the stakes, scrutiny, and demand are all sky-high.

CONSULTING

Have you ever struggled to choose the right imaging biomarker for a given mode of action, indication, and study phase? Have you ever needed help writing sections of your protocol? Or imaging biomarker performance data to adequately power your study?

Calyx’s subject matter experts can support you with customized workshops or become an extension of your clinical team to accelerate the development of your program. If we don’t have the knowledge inhouse, we can connect you with external key opinion leaders who do.

Global, Yet Local.

As clinical trials become increasingly complex and large-scale, involving many different regions around the world, it’s critical to partner with someone whose global capabilities and infrastructure you can trust.

At Calyx, our people understand your local challenges and can support your study teams and sites in local languages. With dedicated imaging teams located around the world including offices in USA, England, Berlin, China, Japan, and India, we provide truly global and seamless deployment. Our global footprint means “around-the-clock” processing, quality control, site management and real-time support. As a result, we adhere to a uniform, rigorous methodology to assure consistent processes and operating procedures regardless of location but ensuring cultural consciousness for each local market.
