Successful CRO Audits to Recover Critical Data

Challenge > Short Timeline to Recover Data After Terminated CRO Contract

PRC Clinical was contacted by a US-based sponsor to help them recover critical study data from their previous CRO after their contract was terminated. The sponsor client terminated their relationship with their existing CRO, leaving only 30 days to audit and retrieve study materials from this (now uncooperative) CRO.

PRC Clinical was tasked to quickly create an audit plan, identify and assemble a team of experienced Auditors for specific CRO transition audits in the United States and the United Kingdom simultaneously.
