What is a Contract Research Organization (CRO)?
Sponsors (i.e., the pharmaceutical companies whose drugs are being tested) often partner with CROs such as Quintiles to manage their clinical trials. CROs provide operational management and support, which may include management of the investigative sites – recruiting them, helping sites complete administrative paperwork, and monitoring the sites throughout the trial.
