Clinical Trials and Centralized Spirometry

Spirometry is the most commonly performed Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) today. It is an excellent test for the measurement of the volume and/or flow of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Sponsors developing new compounds for the treatment of asthma, cystic fibrosis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) use this non-invasive, cost effective test to assess the efficacy of the drug. In 1994, Biomedical Systems pioneered the first centralized spirometry study used in a multi-site clinical trial. We continue to be innovators in the collection, analysis and management of data generated in pharmaceutical clinical trials.
