As the paradigm shift in drug development continues to drive unsustainable costs, biopharmaceutical companies must lift the veil on true sponsor vs. CRO operating costs. The mounting internal cost of drug development and total cost of ownership forces companies to identify and thoroughly assess core, critical, and non-core competencies. Through this process, biopharmaceutical companies will discover opportunities to lower costs and increase flexibility, while maintaining strategic control, mitigating regulatory risk, and enhancing the overall quality of their drug development pipeline.
