  US clinical network
• This will provide clinical trial services supporting drug development
  for liver disorders

OXFORD, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SC Liver Research Consortium (SC Liver) and Perspectum Diagnostics have
developed a major US-based clinical network to provide clinical trial
services that support the development of drugs for liver disorders.

This project has enabled several private clinical sites and large
academic centers sites for clinical trials requiring imaging services,
including in Houston, Los Angeles and Richmond. Both parties involved
are experienced in assisting phase 1-3 trials, enabling high support
standards. Imaging-focused clinical research services provider,
Perspectum has been involved in 30 academic collaborations, with notable
expertise in NASH, cholestatic liver disease and HCC, while site
management organization SC Liver is an accomplished advisor in clinical
development, patient recruitment and regulatory approvals.

“Our collaboration with SC Liver has produced several high-performing
clinical sites with well-trained imaging centers to provide a high level
and quality of service for sponsors. This project also makes
non-invasive liver health assessment available in further-reaching
clinical trials, supporting patient recruitment and accelerating drug
development,” stated Dr. Cathy O’Hare, Head of US Operations at
Perspectum.

Dr. Paul Pockros, Head of SC Liver and Director of the Liver Disease
Center at Scripps Clinic, also commented on the announcement: “This
partnership has enabled access to important technology for investigators
and facilitates the progress of NASH research.”

Those institutions which have been onboarded so far include: Gulf Coast
Research (Houston, TX), Cincinnati Clinical Research (Cincinnati, OH),
Digestive Healthcare of Georgia (Atlanta, GA), Baylor University
(Dallas, TX), Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Los Angeles, CA), Indiana
