Majority of the manufacturers of drugs, medical devices, and biotechnology-based products outsource clinical services. Outsourcing of clinical services has become an integral part from early discovery stage to postmarketing surveillance. Some of the factors responsible for rising preference for outsourcing are cost-effectiveness, domain expertise, and reduced burden on company management.


Outsourcing clinical services result in decreased fixed costs, which ultimately helps save time in the long run. Regulatory agencies require detailed methodologies for all phases of product development for approval, which makes the process tedious. In addition, insurance providers demand information about drugs for determining reimbursement policies.

Pharmaceutical biotechnology companies prefer transactional outsourcing wherein research organizations perform entire functions of clinical trials such as site monitoring, study management, data management, biostatistics, and medical writing.
