Standardizing Laboratory Data Interchange in Clinical Trials

The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium has developed a Laboratory Model for laboratory data that is generated during the conduct of clinical trials. The Laboratory Model is the first step in proposing standards for the interchange of clinical trial laboratory data. Standards will decrease the time and resources required by stakeholders in the pharmaceutical development process (pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, contract research organizations and laboratories). Standardization will therefore contain costs as well as improve data quality.
