CLIENT:

Small rare disease company

SERVICES PROVIDED: 

Clinical operations, data management, biostatistics

After a less than positive experience with a large CRO, we knew we needed a CRO who was vested in our collective success, a true and trusted partner who would be flexible, attentive and engaged in achieving our end goal. We also needed to work with an experienced, competent team who we could rely on and an approach to the contracting that offered value, without compromising quality. In our partnership with PharPoint we have found all of this and more.
