FSP for Biotech

FSP for Biotech

Combining the expertise and stability of a large CRO with the dedication and agility of a small CRO, Rho has positioned itself as an industry leader providing right-sized biometrics services and functional support for over 40 years.

Functional Service Provider (FSP) Model

The Functional Service Provider model have long been associated with large pharma companies, outsourcing departments, and off-shoring practices that emphasize low cost over quality and scale over thoughtful program management.

But not at Rho. Here, we’ve reimagined the FSP model with biotechs top of mind.

Instead of the typical one-size-fits-all approach to FSP clinical trials found at large CROs, we work with you to develop an FSP model that fits your development program. We provide all the benefits of a traditional FSP model along with unparalleled access to biometrics tools and insights usually only available to larger pharmaceutical companies. Plus, because we focus on the small to mid-size pharma space, we understand the importance of being flexible and responsive to the needs of smaller companies. And as a result, our FSP clients stay with us for the long haul.

In the past 5 years, ~95% of our biometrics FSP sponsors have expanded their partnership with Rho.

By outsourcing program-level biometrics to our team of functional services professionals, you’ll ensure that your development program is in the hands of industry-leading experts with over 40 years of biometrics expertise and a proven track record of successful product approvals and virtual clinical trials. Additionally, your program will benefit from our analytical and integrated approach to data collection, management, and analysis – providing data-driven, real-time insights essential to guiding both clinical trial execution and development of marketing applications.

Rho’s Statistical and Programming team has consistently provided high quality deliverables, with an eye for detail that is both comprehensive and insightful. The team’s dedication has been evident in each step of the process and the results have proven to be exemplary by any standard. We appreciate all of Rho’s hard work and value our partnership with them.
