This comprehensive workshop will be held immediately after SNM's Mid-Winter Educational Symposium. It is slated to include presentations and discussions about: methods and short-comings of current drug development practices; the potential for imaging biomarkers in multi-center clinical trials; the role of the Clinical Trials Network in drug development; and fundamentals of participation in this network. SNM will discuss the specific goals and detailed plans of the Clinical Trials Network, including the roles and responsibilities of participation in network imaging and manufacturing registries, the phantom program and the 2009 F-18-fluorothymidine (FLT) demonstration project. Representatives from drug trial sponsors will discuss the specific needs for imaging in multi-center clinical trials.

For a complete agenda and to register for the workshop, please visit www.snm.org/clinicaltrials/MICTWorkshop or contact the Clinical Trials Network at clinicaltrials@snm.org.
