High-quality resources, low turnover
Customized functional solutions designed to meet the unique needs of a global pharmaceutical company. This long-term partnership provides clinical resources that drive cross-country and cross-functional collaboration.
The Challenge
A large, global pharmaceutical client approached Catalyst Clinical Research with a unique need to provide clinical resources globally across multiple indications and across multiple study phases. This client needed individuals to act as local liaisons between their team, the clinical research associates (CRAs) provided by the contract research organization (CRO), and the investigator sites. The goal was to achieve program specific corporate targets, identify and mitigate potential issues, and support overall activities on-site.
The Solution
Catalyst designed a flexible, global solution to facilitate optimal clinical trial set-up and execution as well as drive quality by identifying resources that:
- Understood the local environment where each study site was located
- Created and maintained strong, long-term relationships with sites
- Supported applicable client teams in oversight activities at both CRO and sponsor sites
The individuals identified for this role were highly experienced in the pharmaceutical/clinical research industry, masters-level educated, and had specific experience in multiple rare disease indications and site management.
The Outcome
Four years into this relationship, the client continues to partner with Catalyst to fill this ongoing need for its studies. The client finds the quality of resources provided by Catalyst to be very high and has experienced low turnover. Recently, one of the individuals on this project was promoted based on performance and high-quality delivery.
