Phase II/III CRO Benchmarking (10th Ed.)

Report Overview

Welcome to the 10th edition of ISR’s CRO Quality Benchmarking – Phase II/III Service Providers report. As ever, the goal of this report is to provide detailed information to aid in making informed decisions when outsourcing Phase II/III work.

301 qualified Phase II/III decision-makers participated in our survey to share their insights on topics such as selection drivers, perceptions of providers, and how well provider performance stacked up against their expectations. 41 Phase II/III providers received performance evaluations on 21 attributes across four categories (Budget Factors, Delivery Factors, Staff Characteristics, and Services). Based on customer feedback, ISR has introduced the Services scorecard this year. Respondents who have recent experience using a CRO for Central lab, Biostatistics, Data management, Monitoring, and/or Investigator recruitment services rate how well providers performed on those specific services.
