Biomarkers

Testing of biomarkers for PHC, neutraceuticals and other related clinical trial studies:

Biomarkers are increasingly used to assess the effects of new drugs and therapeutic biological products in patient populations. Because of the important roles biomarkers can play in evaluating the safety, activity, or effectiveness of a new medical product, it is critical to ensure the integrity of the data generated by assays used to measure them.

Cliantha has developed a wide biomarker portfolio which includes over 100+ biomarkers spanning a diverse range of disease states. Cliantha works closely with clients to shape their biomarker strategy and selecting the best analytical technology by:

  • Identifying the appropriate biomarker
  • Selecting the right regulatory approach for compliance
  • Conducting fit for purpose method validation to support clinical trials
  • Choose the best analytical methodology

Vaccine Studies

Clinical development of vaccines requires a specific set of specialized assays to demonstrate the immunogenicity of the vaccine. Ideally, these assays should measure immune responses that correlate with protection against disease. Developing assays for new-generation vaccines usually requires working with cells, pathogens, antigens or assay controls that are not readily available. Validation of these assays involve many challenges as validation requirements are not yet fully specified in regulatory guidelines or White Papers. Our large molecule team has demonstrated experience in conducting numerous CT vaccine studies.

Our vaccine experience includes method validation and sample analysis for

  • Measles virus IgG
  • Mumps virus IgG
  • Rubella virus IgG
  • Diphtheria toxoid IgG
  • Bordetella Pertusis IgG
