If your organization is moving to clinical trials, it’s a good idea to partner with a contract research organization (CRO). However, you will want a CRO that also has the capabilities of a contract development and manufacturing company. Partnering with a CRO that offers CDMO pharma services during early clinical development can mean a much more streamlined drug development cycle. This can help keep your drug development project on schedule and within your budget. Here are some of the advantages of partnering with a CRO/CDMO for your Phase 1 clinical trials.
Make Recruiting Easier
Partnering with the right CRO means you will have access to its recruiting capabilities. Your CRO partner should have access to a database of potential participants. It should have the ability to further segment this potential participant population into specific demographics that are relevant to your trial. An experienced CRO will also know how to properly market to the target population, whether it is through billboards, online ads, or other methods. This can help make recruiting for your first-in-human clinical trials much faster, helping you get to the trials and results and staying on or ahead of schedule.
Gain Access to Resources
You will also gain access to the CRO’s other resources. Trained staff that can carry out your Phase 1 clinical trials and supporting CRO services, within their Phase 1 clinical trial units are resources your CRO partner might be able to offer your organization. This makes it far easier to start a study. If the CRO doesn’t have access to the necessary resources for your specific clinical trial, it may have a list of approved vendors. With the right CRO, you won’t need to find staff who know how to use the equipment either since they will already have staff with the proper training.
In-House Manufacturing
Another resource you gain by choosing a CRO combined with a pharmaceutical CDMO is in-house formulation and manufacturing. This means you won’t have to go to another CDMO to produce the drug for your clinical trials. This can drastically reduce the startup time for your clinical trial. Because the CRO has already helped with earlier stages of the drug development process, information flows to all the in-house manufacturing teams and vice versa.
Streamline the Process
Overall, partnering with a CRO can help streamline your organization’s next drug development cycle. Because they have the experience, the resources, and, if it offers CDMO services, the manufacturing capabilities, you won’t have to find multiple partners to handle different aspects of the process. It’s also much easier than your organization trying to do the work when you don’t have multiple successful trials to your name. Streamlining the process means taking less time than was scheduled, which can help manage your budget.
Choosing an Integrated CRO/CDMO
When you use an integrated CRO/CDMO, you have a partner from the earliest stages of clinical development until you take your drug to market. The right partner should be able to handle every aspect from lead candidate selection to manufacturing, recruiting to performing clinical trials. The information doesn’t need to be exchanged between different CROs, but instead, teams within the same CRO. It’s the easiest way to enjoy a successful drug development process.
