Optimizing Outcomes in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) And Liver Diseases
Uncertainty and risk are inherent to the world of clinical research. Worldwide uses the latest hepatic imaging, diagnostic technology, and analytic techniques to maximize convenience and minimize risk—for patients and sponsors.
Focused expertise for your liver disease programs
As the rate of liver disease continues to rise, so does the challenge of finding the right patients for clinical trials. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has few detectable symptoms in its early stages, leading to progressive and more serious disease stages, including cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, and cardiovascular events. To get your investigative medicinal product all the way to market faster to help patients sooner, partner with our experienced team at Worldwide Clinical Trials.

Strong teams with expertise in liver diseases
You require a true partner that knows the complexities of liver disease trials and has the global expertise to get your product to market. Our award-winning approach combines patient centricity with strong investigative collaboration to arrive at optimal strategies for achieving reliable data on time and within budget.
Disease-specific operations and assessment experience
Worldwide offers significant global operational expertise and enhanced awareness of the challenges unique to MASLD/MASH studies. That’s why we employ non-invasive diagnostic measurements, numerous liver imaging modalities, biomarker composite scoring (MASLD fibrosis score, FIB-4, APRI, Fibrosure/Fibrotest, ELF), and leading pathology techniques whenever possible.
Core imaging labs and central laboratory services for improved diagnostics
Our clinical trials endeavor to maximize clinical information while minimizing patient discomfort and safety concerns. That’s why our central, bioanalytical, core imaging, and ECG laboratories offer PK/PD and biomarker tests, whole organ volume analysis (liver and spleen), hepatic fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), liver stiffness (MR elastography), SAT/VAT fat depot segmentation, and vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) +/- controlled attenuation parameter (CAP).
Regulatory expertise, across the globe
Worldwide offers up-to-date regulatory intelligence via in-country expertise for global trials, engaging with regulatory agencies and taking advantage of pre-submission meetings or expedited pathways whenever possible to ease the way toward market approval. Our experts can also provide assistance with biomarker qualification programs, guidance for critical path innovation meetings, and pediatric-specific strategic consulting and submissions.
An extensive KOL network
Our extensive experience in MASH/MASLD research has helped us build a tried-and-true group of trusted subject matter experts and key opinion leaders who infuse our study designs with the latest clinical insights, improving patient and investigator experience as well as market uptake.
