Synteract talks rescue studies at DIA 2011
COO Stewart Bieler made the comments during an interview with Outsourcing-pharma.com at DIA 2011. He explained that Synteract is sometimes called to ‘rescue’ a study when a non-CFR Part 11validated system is used.
He explained that when called in to rescue a study Synteract first assesses the programme's complexity to determine if it is feasible to take over.
Bieler also said that, in terms of disease areas, over 30 per cent of the trials Synteract takes over are those involved in the development of cancer drugs.
Oncology trials Outsourcing
Oncology is one of the most active areas of research in the pharmaceutical industry with, according to recent PhRMA figures, more than 900 new cancer drugs being developed by US companies alone.
The contract research sector has been quick to recognise this demand with barely a week going by without news of a cancer trial partnership or new oncology-focused service launch.
With this trend in mind, on July 12th Outsourcing-pharma.com is holdingOncology Trials Outsourcingan industry-first virtual conference focused on the role outsourcing can play in the successful development of cancer drugs.
