Sponsor Shifts From Faltering Large CRO to PRC Clinical

Challenge > DELAYED DELIVERABLES AND EXCESSIVE TURNOVER

A neurodegenerative sponsor based in the United States evaluated PRC Clinical to provide clinical support for their Phase I Alzheimer’s study. By direction of their Executive Board, the sponsor initially moved forward with a large full-service CRO to manage their program based upon familiarity with the brand.

Even though the compound successfully moved through the initial Phase I study, the sponsor had a significant amount of turnover with their CRO in regards to their Lead Clinical Research Associate, a key role for the success of the study.

This, coupled with turnover in data management and delayed deliverables, brought the question of how to remove a functional group from a CRO and replace them with a specialty provider.

PRC Clinical’s extensive experience in neurodegenerative disorders and core focus in supporting clinical operations in North America made it an easy decision for the sponsor to re-engage for our support.
