Oncology Expertise

Calyx scientific consultants have the industry’s most extensive experience in oncology clinical trial imaging. We’ve successfully managed the imaging components of over 1,500 clinical trials across 90 unique oncology indications. This includes more than 50 pivotal studies – where imaging data supported successful submissions to regulatory agencies – and over 75 trials of compounds that were designated breakthrough therapies.

 

Solid Tumor

During the course of anti-tumor treatment development, imaging modalities, criteria, and regulators’ expectations change frequently. Without the direction of imaging scientists who work day in and day out in clinical trial imaging, it would be difficult, if not impossible to keep track of and react to changes during these critical and oftentimes, lengthy trials.

Calyx’s scientific and medical experts have successfully managed the important imaging components of over 1,300 solid tumor trials – in all phases of clinical development across multiple indications such as cancer of the prostate, breast, bladder, and many more. You can trust Calyx to guide you through the highly nuanced and technically challenging world of clinical trial imaging to ensure your solid tumor development program succeeds. Or if it’s going to fail, to fail fast.

Innovating the Science

Calyx employs some of the industry’s key thought leaders, including Dr. Oliver Bohnsack who wrote the book on medical imaging in oncology trials – literally. Dr. Bohnsack leverages his knowledge from having co-authored the immune-related response criteria (irRC, 2009), served as first author of irRECIST (2014), and co-authored Comparison of Assessments using RECIST and irRECIST by Manitz J. et al. (2020) as he designs and implements optimal imaging strategies for Calyx’s customers developing new oncology treatments.
