Clinical Trial Imaging Management Platform: GaelO
The all-in-one solution for secure medical imaging orchestration and standardized central imaging review.
Make Medical Imaging a decisional endpoint to build innovative clinical trials
"Medical imaging is wrongly seen as a complicated modality to integrate in clinical trials and thus has not yet reached its real place: a diagnostic and prognostic tool on which we can build personalized medicine."
In clinical trials, too often imaging is not centralized — imaging data rely on local interpretation which is subject to multiple biases (non-standardized response, lack of expertise, wrong classification…).
At Pixilib we want to unlock the capabilities of medical imaging, building tools to seamlessly integrate medical imaging in clinical trials and develop new image quantifications to build new imaging biomarkers. Our goal is to provide clinically relevant image biomarkers to tailor new treatment strategies and push personalized therapy to the next level.
In current clinical trials we yet use a very limited part of medical imaging capabilities, limited to "standard" criteria known from decades. Using known validated criteria is good (and we support it) — but creating new biomarkers and building innovative uses of medical imaging is even better.
We aim to build an ecosystem to unlock the power of medical imaging and help researchers to build:
- New prognostic group identification for per-patient treatment adaptation
- Integration of new biomarkers based on medical imaging alone or combined with biology and pathology
- New imaging technologies in clinical trials: new devices, new tracers
- Accelerate innovative trials using medical imaging as a decisional endpoint to deliver the most accurate treatment to carefully selected patients
Why GaelO is the Standard for Central Imaging and Clinical Trial Imaging
In modern drug development, medical imaging is a critical endpoint — it constitutes most of the time the objective response criteria for treatment evaluation. Collected imaging data needs to be standardized, auditable and validated.
Seamless DICOM Data Collection & De-identification
GaelO simplifies the collection of all medical imaging modalities (CT, MRI, PET…) from global investigator sites. This includes radiology and nuclear medicine but also radiotherapy, digital pathology, optical imaging or video endoscopy.
Recruiting centers only need a browser to send their images. There is no software to install on their computer or infrastructure — a user is usually able to use GaelO in minutes.
At image upload, our automated engine scrubs Protected Health Information (PHI) as specified by NEMA to ensure full GDPR and HIPAA compliance of your central imaging repository.
Central Imaging Review & Disease-Specific Criteria
GaelO provides expert readers with standardized review environments. Each expert can review medical imaging through our dedicated DICOM viewer with advanced visualization and quantification features.
According to each Clinical Trial specification, the platform integrates the appropriate Evaluation Criteria, with dedicated, customizable eCRF. GaelO supports single or multiple reviews, open or blinded reviews with decision adjudication in case of reading discordancy.
Our platform already supports the most used criteria in global clinical trial imaging research, in their latest version — see the table below.
Auditable data capture
The GaelO platform keeps in memory each data update. For each action, we track timing, data modification and the original user — delivering a full audit trail ready to be audited.
The audit trail saves all your trial history from the first inclusion to the last review, delivering a full change tracker ready to be audited at any time.
This non-alterable timeline provides strong data consistency proofs and regulatory compliance with the highest international standards for clinical research Electronic Data Capture.
Supported clinical trial criteria, in their latest version
Each criterion links to its reference publication. GaelO integrates these criteria as customizable eCRFs inside the reading interface — ensuring standardized data collection across centers and reviewers.
| Clinical Trial Topics | Evaluation Criteria |
|---|---|
| General Oncology | |
| Lymphoma | |
| Neuro Oncology | |
| Myeloma | |
| Prostate Cancer |
Core Features for Clinical Trial Imaging and Central Imaging
The GaelO platform is built with a complete set of features dedicated to a smooth management of medical imaging data in clinical trials.
A clean data structure for your clinical trial
We store medical imaging data in a clean, efficient structure built around three clear entities:
- Patients
- Visits
- Reviews
A role based access control dedicated to research collaborators
A dedicated role for each actor of your trial — Investigators, Controllers, Monitors, Reviewers and Supervisors — each with features tailored to ensure smooth, qualified data collection.
Zero footprint web platform for medical imaging data collection
Sending imaging is as easy as a drag & drop — without compromising security. No installation, automated de-identification, data consistency checks and high-speed encrypted upload. No training needed.
Real-time Quality Control (QC) for Clinical Trial Imaging
At image reception, controllers run immediate quality checks to verify protocol adherence. Non-compliant data triggers a one-click corrective request to the site — reducing costly queries later in the trial.
Real time Clinical Trial Monitoring
Track study progress at any time: data centralization, QC progression, review decisions. Built-in communication tools let you send reminders to keep every site on track toward your milestones.
Medical Imaging Visualization and Image Processing in Central Imaging
A full-feature viewer running entirely in the browser, with CRFs integrated inside the viewer itself. All modalities, all visualization tools (MPR, MIP, colormaps), quantification, registration and advanced workflows like Metabolic Tumor Volume.
Blind Independent Central Review (BICR)
From a single qualitative read to multiple blinded reads on a composite endpoint. Customized, self-explanatory eCRFs check consistency at each step, with a built-in adjudication step in case of discordancy.
Audit trail for regulatory compliance
Each modification is written to a non-alterable audit trail as required by the ICH E6(R3) Guideline — action, user and exact time. A fully auditable data timeline for your auditors.
Data availability, everywhere, any time
The data belongs to you. Standardized exports, already curated at collection time, are generated in seconds and fully ready for statistical analysis — accessible to identified users according to their permissions.
Reuse of collected data in ancillaries studies
Medical imaging is high-value data. Open an ancillary study at the end of a trial — or in parallel — and reuse all or part of the original dataset with new customized CRFs, in fully isolated workspaces.
- Isolated workspaces
- Customized eCRFs
- Instant dataset cloning
