invivodata inc. ® the industry leader in reliable electronic solutions and strategic consulting services for successful Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) data collection in global clinical research, today opened registration for its PROficiency™ 2012 Regional Conference Series. Occurring throughout Europe and the US, this series of 1-day educational events will provide biopharmaceutical researchers with current, relevant information on effectively using COAs in clinical development, with focus on recent trends pertaining to regulators’ increasing emphasis on all patient centered data, including patient, clinician, and observer reported outcomes (PRO, ClinRO, and ObsRO).

Each conference agenda includes sessions focused on meeting current, global COA regulations, developing effective COA endpoint strategies for Phase II and III research, and implementing COA / electronic COA (eCOA) data capture in clinical development. Presentations will be delivered by a diverse faculty of international biopharmaceutical professionals and industry and regulatory experts, including:
