Cutting Edge Information
On average over half the cost of developing a new cancer drug is associated with work outsourced to contract research organisations (CRO), according to analysis by Cutting Edge Information. This finding, coupled with the pharmaceutical industry’s ever present desire for more efficient R&D spending, means that finding the right contractor and monitoring performance is more important than ever.
In his presentation Eric Bolesh will examine this issue and discuss the following: How pharmaceutical firms work successfully with CROs? What clinical work is contracted out to third parties? How is vendor performance measured?; and how, ultimately, is this information used to shape future sourcing strategies and drug development projects be that for a new treatment for cancer or for any other disease.
