Clinical Trial Support

We understand that IVD research requires a unique approach compared to other modalities.

With a deep understanding of the factors that influence your IVD trial’s success, we provide comprehensive clinical trial support and guidance. Our services span consent, data capture, site billing, and remote monitoring, all built specifically for the IVD industry. 

RDI specializes in IVD trial design, with a thorough understanding of the complex requirements of these studies. We consider healthy & diseased samples, diversity by geography and demographics, and use of prospective, remnant, or contrived samples to tailor study design to your needs and meet the agency’s regulatory requirements.  

RDI uses insurance claims data for more than 2 million physicians to engage the right providers with the right study. This accelerates study startup and enrollment while allowing for more accurate project timelines. We then treat these sites as repeat relationships, building our network and increasing confidence in site quality.  

Through our established IRB relationship with Advarra, you benefit from fast turnaround, quick resolution of any issues, and expert guidance, including international Canadian support.  

RDI works with facilities across the U.S. to support and streamline your sample collection and testing operations.  

Facilities include:

  • CLIA laboratories 
  • Doctors offices 
  • Private hospitals 
  • STD centers 
  • Gyms 
  • Geriatric centers 

Our biostatistics teams streamline your IVD product development process, enhancing the probability of success with precise study design, optimal sample size determination, and rigorous data analysis techniques. By ensuring data quality and integrity, we help you make data-driven decisions faster. Our experts manage the intricacies of your study, ensuring statistical power, regulatory compliance, and robust results, ultimately accelerating your path to market. 

RDI’s fully integrated clinical trial management system brings together software, hardware, and processes to seamlessly integrate consent, data capture, site billing, and remote monitoring, all built specifically for the needs of IVD research.  

Clinical Lab Services for IVD Trials

We understand that IVD starts and ends in the lab, yet many labs are not well equipped or interested in the effort that research requires.

At RDI, we have our own high-complexity CLIA lab and numerous partnerships with research labs and commercial clinical labs, this affords near limitless resources for the evaluation of developing clinical laboratory technologies.

Through our CLIA lab network and high-complexity lab in California, RDI can: 

  • Serve as a clinical site for IVD validation and verification studies 
  • Access to remnant/banked samples from labs that see over 2 million tests annually 
  • Test research samples and accommodate project requests (media, instrument, or handling)  
  • Provide flexible lab space to place RUO instruments and/or purchase them for projects 
  • Source almost any predicate device  
  • Test samples on platforms from different manufacturers at the same time 

Quest Diagnostics

  • Access to one of the largest test menus in the U.S. 
  • Ability to accommodate tests that may be required for a study but not part of the standard of care 
  • Consistent testing for samples collected anywhere in the U.S.

Access to Any Instrument and Assay

RDI understands that IVD development requires specific assays and specific instruments to either help validate your R&D work or serve as the predicate device in a submission. RDI has access to many different analyzers located in its facility or at its partner labs. These instruments span immunoassay, chemistry, and molecular sequencing, and we are constantly adding to our network.  

Our available instruments and assays are always evolving. If you do not see the assay or instrument your looking for, please contact us to explore solutions.
