Successful Use of LDTs in Clinical Trials

Keys for successful use of laboratory developed tests in clinical trials

Laboratory developed tests (LDTs) for in vitro diagnostics can be developed and ready for use more quickly than traditional diagnostic tests, while still being accurate and reliable.

In this white paper, the authors describe regulatory considerations for LDTs and key factors for successfully developing and using LDTs in clinical trials. Input provided by:
