ESTABLISHING THE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEVELOP AND CLASSIFY CLINICAL BIOMARKERS

Objectives

  • Explore the development of a conceptual model that describes the future for biomarker development and its application as surrogate endpoints
  • Establish an action plan throughout the clinical trials enterprise to apply this model
  • Evaluate classification systems for surrogate endpoints
  • Consider broad infrastructure needs in basic and clinical research areas to apply fundamental biology and technological advances to foster development of novel clinical measuring tools
  • Characterize the need to organize scientific disciplines that will utilize biomarkers in evaluation of therapeutic safety and efficacy
