In the last decade, the role of CROs has become increasingly integral to clinical trials, with smaller companies often outsourcing the vast majority of their services to these firms. However the growing need for CRO services has placed demand on these companies, many of whom are cracking under the pressure. Additionally, post-Covid staffing issues have wreaked havoc with CROs with many of them understaffed or having under qualified personnel fill roles that are not suited to them. In the past few years, we have seen the impact of over-promising and under-staffed CROs who are consistently under-delivering on their promises. From delays in deliverables to larger quality concerns, the realization that CROs are less dependable is starting to permeate through the industry, forcing companies to look towards other solutions.
In addition to the above, with the FDAs increased emphasis on vendor oversight and management, companies cannot afford to partner with vendors who are not holding up their fulfilling their contractual commitments and prove to be a challenge to work with.
One of the primary solutions to these CRO-issues: bringing more functionality in-house.
In lieu of signing up with one CRO to outsource the vast majority of clinical trial functions, companies are adopting a hybrid approach to vendor selection. Some companies are now shopping “a la carte” for services opting to get support in some areas but taking other aspects in-house.
With this new impetus to bring increased functionality in-house, comes the new need for support in setting up and maintaining that internal infrastructure.
That is where a partner like MVG Consulting comes into play. With a hands-on, outcome-focused approach, MVG offers flexible a-la carte services based directly on client needs that allows clients to confidently transition some of their functions in-house.
