It’s nearly time to start early clinical development, and your organization is looking for a contract research organization partner. If you are looking for a fully integrated, all-in-one organization, there are some factors to consider. There are advantages to choosing a full-service CRO instead of partnering with multiple CROs, but a single CRO needs to be able to do everything proficiently. Here are four factors to consider.

Do They Have All the Necessary Resources?

When a CRO specializes in one discipline, they will likely have the necessary resources to perform that service extremely well. A CRO that can take you from lead candidate selection to clinical proof of concept to commercial manufacturing requires far more resources. The CRO needs the correct medical equipment for first-in-human clinical trials, that are run in their Phase 1 clinical trial units. Ideally, they would have a substantial database of clinical trial participants for recruiting for the study. This can make recruiting a much faster, streamlined experience.

Do They Have Experience?

Any CRO can claim they are all-in-one. When choosing a CRO, you will need to evaluate them based on experience. If they have successfully navigated regulatory submissions, recruited for clinical trials with healthy normal, patient, and special populations, successfully completed a variety of clinical trials, and helped bring therapeutic drugs to market, they are a good candidate for your organization to partner with. If the CRO you are considering as a partner does not have enough experience in a specific area, you might still need to bring on another CRO to cover the gap. This creates extra complications in your drug development cycle, so a full-service CRO partner is best.

Can They Manufacture the Drug?

Many CROs claim to be all-in-one but lack an important aspect of the process: manufacturing. You want a CRO with pharmaceutical CDMO capabilities. This means everything is done in-house. While one team is finalizing lead candidate formulation, another team is already determining the best way to manufacture it. There is far less downtime when you start a clinical trial, as you won’t have to depend on a secondary CRO to manufacture the drug for the trial. When it’s time to go to market, your CRO’s in-house manufacturing team already has key experience creating the drug for the trial and can start manufacturing for the market faster.

Do the Teams Communicate?

Finally, it’s vital for a fully integrated, all-in-one CRO’s teams to freely communicate with each other. This means information flows freely and is easily accessible by other teams. A proprietary database with all key client and study information, for instance, means the bioanalysis team already has the data from the clinical trial team and can start much sooner. There is very little wait time, especially compared to having one CRO’s team waiting on another CRO’s team to send information to them.
