CogState ClinicalTrials is a total service provider. Our services include:

Consulting:
The CogState Science team will support the design and execution of the protocol with a broad and deep knowledge of cognitive science and neuropsychological testing in pharmaceutical development. Contributions can include, but are not limited to:

• Optimizing the experimental design and selection of tests most suitable to detect putative change
• Practical advice and implementation in the preparation of easy-to-use source documents to minimize data collection errors
• Design of an optimal training and certification program for the cognitive battery
• Central monitoring of rater administration and scoring
• Support for post hoc analysis and interpretation of results with Sponsors, key opinion leaders and regulators

Computerized Cognitive Tests:
The CogState computerized cognitive tasks were designed to be culturally neutral with minimal language requirements, making them particularly well suited for multinational studies. The CogState computerized tasks have been validated across a wide range of pathophysiological conditions and demonstrate construct validity. The combination of:  a) increased rates of sampling; b) optimized data distributional properties of outcome measures; c) minimal effects of practice or fatigue, and d) the ability to re-test at short intervals, mean that the sensitivity of the CogState cognitive tests to true change is unsurpassed in the industry.  Of equal importance, these characteristics also minimize the potential for Type I errors and are ideally suited for detecting change.

Rater Training and Related Services:
These services include scientific consultation, scales management, rater selection/training/certification/recalibration and quality control. These services are provided for all scales and tests, including traditional paper and pencil, used in clinical trials to measure cognition. CogState’s legacy of cognitive science and technology, the size and depth of its science team of neuropsychologists, and its systematic integration of science, operations and technology make it unique as a vendor of these services, delivering exemplary service and innovation.
