IQVIA Labmatrix is an industry-leading, highly configurable, cloud-based solution for Clinical Trial Sample and Consent Tracking (CTST) and Next Generation Biobanking . Developed by BioFortis (acquired by IQVIA Laboratories), it is designed to streamline clinical trial operations, maximize the value of biospecimens, and ensure regulatory compliance . The system is utilized in over 1,000 trials, providing a sample-centric view across the complex ecosystem of sites, labs, vendors, and biobanks .
Key Capabilities & Features
- Sample and Consent Tracking: Provides clear visibility into study subjects, samples, and consent, ensuring sample usage corresponds with patient consent for both in-study and future-use . The system offers robust tracking of consent parameters at study, country, site, and patient levels .
- Compliance & Audit: Features detailed chain of custody tracking and a paperless workflow within a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant system, significantly reducing operational and regulatory risks .
- Automation & Integration: Offers automated reconciliation of planned versus actual biospecimen collection and shipment, scalable data standardization, and integration with third-party equipment, middleware, and data sources like Microsoft Azure message bus .
- Data & Analytics: Includes configurable dashboards, robust reporting, and integration with Qiagram, a patented graphical query and analysis tool, for advanced data interrogation and visualization . The platform is 100% user-configurable for search and reporting on all data points .
- Biobanking: Supports Next Generation Biobanking by functioning as a knowledge hub that harmonizes biospecimens with clinical and molecular data to drive precision medicine research .
