Camberley, UK, Nov. 5, 2012 – INC Research, LLC, a therapeutically focused global clinical research organization (CRO) with a Trusted Process® for delivering reliable results, will discuss the importance of involving CROs early in the planning process at the Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference, November 6-9, 2012 at the CCH Congress Center in Hamburg, Germany. Visit Booth #709 where INC Research executives will be on site to discuss how drug developers can identify the right strategic alliance model to meet their outsourcing needs and ensure the best chance of success in bringing their products to market.
“We’re excited to be taking part again in this year’s Partnerships in Clinical Trials,” said Alistair Macdonald, President, Clinical Development Services, and head of the Company’s European operations. “Europe continues to be an important region for clinical research, particularly in the areas of oncology, CNS, cardiology, and endocrinology, which are currently experiencing significant growth in the region. By having locally-based teams with strong regional knowledge of every European country, we can engage our customers earlier in the product lifecycle to offer more insightful strategies that ultimately speed their products to market. And if customers are looking beyond Europe, our global footprint also enables us to deliver high-quality clinical development service anywhere in the world.”
The continued shift in the biopharmaceutical company-CRO relationship from project-specific outsourcing to clinical delivery strategic alliances has made it easier for drug developers to benefit from CROs as innovation partners. Multi-year strategic alliances include more input from the CRO and leverage years of perspective, expertise and tactical approaches. These strategic alliances enable CROs to focus more deeply on the commercial and regulatory viability of compounds much earlier in the drug development lifecycle.
INC Research Speaker
INC Research is pleased to once again contribute thought leadership to the agenda for the Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference, with Manfred Weiler, PhD, Senior Vice President, Europe & Asia Pacific Business and Alliance Development presenting on the benefits of involving CROs early in planning. Specifically, he will explore the importance of involving CROs at the pre-protocol stage, how to exploit best practices from a CRO, and how to determine the level of involvement with CROs that works best for individual projects. Dr. Weiler’s session, “Benefits of involving your CRO early in planning,” will be held on Nov. 7 at 3:45 p.m.
