COVID-19 has ushered in new challenges when conducting clinical trials, but mid-tier biotech companies have different needs than large pharmaceutical companies. When companies are conducting studies for therapeutic areas such as oncology, or clinical trials for next-generation therapies, a smaller sponsor requires a partner that is nimble, fast-acting, and flexible, as well as transparent. Communicating what is required is vital, but even more, having a partner that can communicate what is possible is key.
