Session Chair(s)

This session examines the results and implications of a recent study conducted by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (Tufts CSDD) that looked at 43 phase 2 and 3 clinical studies completed since 2012 to evaluate actual sponsor company outsourcing practices. The study also performed an in-depth assessment of sponsor company attitudes and perceptions about their current and future outsourcing strategies. Study results indicate that sponsor companies are inconsistently mixing and matching relationship models on a study-by-study basis and that they are planning a number of major changes to their outsourcing strategies and practices.
Learning Objective : Review trends in outsourcing relationship models including ways that biopharmaceutical companies have modified operating structures to accommodate more strategic relationships; Explain why strategic relationships are not driving higher levels of efficiency, lower cost and faster study cycle time; Discuss new approaches to better leverage the value of strategic outsourcing relationships.
