Pharma Services Network facilitates the strategic global outsourcing of clinical trials. Its proprietary list of global CROs, now listed on goBalto, is divided into two categories: “Recommended by Pharma Services Network” and “Represented by Pharma Services Network.”
“Recommended by” indicates Pharma Services Network has identified these CROs as quality service providers. Pharma Services Network can facilitate information about, and introductions to, these recommended CROs. “Represented by” indicates Pharma Services Network has visited the facility, met with senior management and endorses the company’s specific capabilities. Pharma Services Network actively represents these CROs to clinical trial sponsors in the USA.
In either case, pharmaceutical sponsors may contact Pharma Services Network through the goBalto.com website in order to evaluate the listed CRO services. Pharma Service Network’s page on goBalto.com is at http://www.gobalto.com/companies/pharma-services-network
