6. Client Challenges Biomarker scientific support Current staff stretched thin, hiring freeze Academic collaborations difficult to manage Difficulty coordinating with multiple different commercial labs for preclinical R&D Clinical trial specimen management No central lab, sites were shipping all over Lots of complex sample collections No monitoring of samples Difficulty reconciling conflicting “sample trackers” maintained by individuals Early stage study support Services of current central laboratory provider not a good fit for early stage project requirements Need “go-to” lab services support team 6

7. Scientific Support Project Management Academic institutions Commercial laboratories & vendors Participates in study design and contract outlines Maintaining contact with participating vendors Responsible for daily/weekly project feedback: liaison between vendor and sponsor groups Examples of projects: Serum screening of RBM protein profiles in clinical samples to identify new biomarkers Analysis of SNP profiles in cytokine promoters in clinical cohorts to determine which SNPs can serve as biomarkers (predictive) Analysis of PTM profiles in cytokines of interest 7

8. Technical capabilities Tissue Culture, bioactivity assays, most in vitro applications Immunoassays, neutralization assays, and ELISAs Immunology assays, ELISPOT Flow Cytometry approaches (both high specialized and routine) Cytogenetics: FISH and Karyotyping Genetics: Mutation analysis, Sequencing, Microarray Analysis, SNP, splice variant analysis Mass spectroscopy Western Blot, 2D gel analysis Circulating Tumor Cell Analysis Immunohistochemistry Protein purification and characterization Antibody purification and characterization 8

12. Current challenges in sample tracking Increase in esoteric testing requires more detailed sample management Personalized medicine increases the need to look at samples during the study and not at the end of the study. Requires the knowledge of “where are my samples?” Difficult to get comprehensive sample reconciliation during on-going clinical trial Sample tracking is often done manually by clinical operations group, requires extra man hours and results in higher error rate Limited visibility at sites Specimens can sit at sites for extended periods No visibility until samples are shipped/received at a lab Difficult to catch problems at a resolvable stage Hard to monitor sample quality Sample collection/processing more intricate than safety sample preparation. No verification that sample was processed correctly until it is too late Difficult to identify samples in system based on clinical criteria Result data is not associated with Subject/Sample information. Often done manually using different lists from different sources. 12

13. There are gaps in current sample tracking systems Lab 1 Client or storage Sites Central lab Lab 2 Lab 3 Samples are not monitored until they are received at a lab or by the client. Labs (academia or specialized labs) frequently do not have automated sample management capabilities Difficult to reconcile multiple outputs from different locations. Increased error rate. 13

14. LabConnect sample tracking system Lab 1 Client or storage Sites LabConnect Lab 2 Lab 3 Database Digital pen technology and data integration tools allows instant access to sample information and comprehensive real time sample tracking. 14

15. Digital pen technology allows increased visibility without changing behavior 1 2 3 4 Lab receives sample and enters into LIMS Sample shipped Sample Collection Site documentation Sample stored, batched shipped later Site personnel Digital pen captures site documentation instantly, importing to database 15

17. Data was inconsistent, full of errors, not complete

18. Samples were unaccounted for

19. Difficult to determine number of missing samples

20. Difficult to determine what samples are available for analysis16

22. Instant accessioning

23. Better control on shipping logistics

24. Fast identification and correction of queries/issues

25. Multiple user web access (smart phone application available)

26. Customizable reports

27. Solid chain of custody

28. Yields documented quality sample management and saves time

29. Easy access to sample availability and information for research and analysis determinations17
