Global Full-service Phase III Ovarian Cancer Study | Catalyst Clinical Research

Catalyst Oncology succeeds in delivering for late clinical-stage oncology biotech.

While the biotech had experience working with Catalyst in an early phase development program in a different indication, Catalyst Oncology’s abilities to address a global full-service Phase III study helped to rescue the client’s ovarian cancer research.

A biotechnology company approached Catalyst Oncology to provide full-service CRO support to rescue their Phase III registrational study. The company had contracted with a large CRO, who were failing to deliver on study start-up activities, were unresponsive, and showed no flexibility to fit the Sponsor’s needs. The biotech had worked with Catalyst previously on an early phase development program in a different indication. This clinical trial for ovarian cancer involved ~400 patients and 136 sites across 12 countries in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Catalyst Oncology delivered this Phase III study and provided client support including:
