Online seminar synopsis

Robust and sensitive methodology is critical for generating high-quality data in early-phase clinical trials in metabolic diseases. In this Ask the Expert online seminar, Dr. Tim Heise addresses key methodological questions frequently raised by sponsors and researchers developing metabolic therapies.

The session summarizes gold-standard techniques used to assess insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, body composition, and energy expenditure. This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of how these methods can be applied to support informed decision-making in early clinical development programs for diabetes, obesity, and related metabolic indications.

 

For whom:

  • Clinical researchers and professionals in metabolic diseases
  • Pharmaceutical and biotechnological company representatives
  • Translational scientists and clinical pharmacologists
  • Academic researchers and institutions
  • Anyone interested in advanced methodology for metabolic clinical trials
