THERAPEUTIC EXPERTISE Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiac Safety
Neurology
MERIT provides imaging services for neurological clinical trials, particularly those that include retinal biomarkers.
Areas of Focus:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
- Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) Antibody Disease
- Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD)
Cardiac Safety Services
MERIT provides standardized collection and review of cardiac safety data, often an important safety endpoint in respiratory trials. For example, many respiratory trials require a normal ECG at screening at a minimum, and others require certain QTcF or QTcB cutoffs for inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Advantages To MERIT’s Cardiac Safety Services:
- Easily collect ECGs and spirometry in the same system
- High quality capture
- Electronic, centralized ECG system
- Fully traceable 21 CFR Part 11 compliant system
- All ECG data can be accessed anywhere in the world
- MERIT team of cardiologists for expert central review
ECGs are captured directly via USB, and ECGs are transmitted as soon as the site saves the tracing. An ECG auto-interpretation is immediately available and allows for quick identification and response to any errors.
Dermatology
MERIT supports dermatology clinical trials focusing on scar measurement.
Dermatology areas of focus include:
- Scar measurement
- Lesion and scar counts
- Monitoring progression of disease
