Supported Studies Quid Pro Quo

Abstract

Many pharmaceutical companies (hereinafter Companies or Company) recognize the importance of supporting external studies and the role they play in fulfilling patients’ needs. High standard ethical research conducted by external Sponsors can easily align with Company’s areas of interest and can further improve the understanding of products and disease areas of research to enhance patient care. The Sponsor of a supported study can be an external investigator, healthcare institution or medical network who seeks support from a Company to conduct a study.
