– Emergency department patients
– In-patients
– Support services (pharmacy, labs, radiology, etc.)
•
Leading enroller in infection studies (skin, pneumonia, influenza,
hepatitis C, vaccines, other infection)
•

Risk-Sharing
Sharing only risk is not a
good proposition
And… you cover our pension
and healthcare liabilities…

CROs Already Take Significant Risk
•
Fixed/Variable Staffing: Just in time, trained staff
•
All projects are “highest” priority
•
Bidding process encourages “best case” pricing and plans
•
Service companies need to pay their bills on time regardless of
project risk
•
CRO profit margins only 5-15% when WELL RUN
 There’s very little room for operational or financial risk
Drug Development Cash Flow
Investigator Sites
Pharma/Biotech risk:
• 50% of sites never enroll a
patient
• 20-30% of sites enroll 80% of
patients
• Non-performing sites still cost
start-up and monitoring
expenses
• Pharma-Investigator
relationship is important asset
Site Cash Flow Risk:
• Typical contract proposal is
payment upon completion of
monitoring
• Patient completed day 30
• Monitor reviews data day 60
• Client approves payment day 90
• Finance makes payment day 120
• Site paid staff day 15 and 30
• Sites provide biotech/pharma a
cash flow loan of 90-180 days
for approx. 35% of the cost of
drug development!
