Clinical Trial Site Contracting: The Conservative, Progressive and Hybrid Models
DrugDev
For the last 20 years, pharmaceutical companies have turned to a variety of clinical outsourcing solutions to reduce costs and improve timelines, enabling them to focus on their core value of research and development. In today’s tightly competitive market, companies are constantly striving for ways to further cut costs and reduce study startup cycle times, while maintaining quality.
