An ever-present issue for sponsor companies is whether to partner with a Clinical Research Organization. From that follows questions and strategies on how to best select a CRO and manage the relationship. The process takes on added dimension when conducting research internationally.
In this presentation, the speaker highlights key contract and relationship issues and the recurrent problems that arise within these relationships, and also offer practical, experience-based tips for maximizing the relationship's value and efficiencies. We discuss the difference between partner and vendor, and contract versus relationship. The presentation also examines local vs. U.S.-based CROs, and how to assess a CRO's experience and ability to comply with local rules and regulations and FDA requirements, as well as cooperating with the sponsor and other participating CROs.
