The evolution of FSP: not just for large pharma
How all sponsors can benefit from a synchronized outsourcing strategy
Large pharma and biotechnology companies historically use traditional CRO and FSP models to deliver their clinical programs. This model lends itself well to customers without global scale, systems, or capabilities.
For mid-size pharma, however, models may evolve as the company grows. This either/or decision often means switching models by switching suppliers. ICON’s Embedded Blended model uses an either/and approach, effectively managing inevitable model evolution.
The Embedded Blended model offers benefits of both CRO and FSP models. As a partner grows, their model can be adjusted and stabilized.
