Unlike any other CRO in the industry, Crown Bioscience was founded with the specific aim of building the resources needed to provide more clinically relevant data enabling Phase 0/Phase 1 studies in the preclinical stage of drug development.
Eli Lilly’s August 2008 announcement to transfer an early drug development facility to Covance - in addition to more than 240 Lilly employees and a 10-year service contract - signaled the emergence of a new partnership model between CROs and sponsors. The historic deal piqued the interest of R&D executives across the pharmaceutical industry looking for solutions to address their specific needs. This paper outlines some of the innovative solutions designed to help biopharmaceutical companies reduce fixed costs and improve R&D efficiencies through strategic partnership.

The intent of this project was to calculate the expected event rate in a control population of patients at risk for a Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE). This information was used to inform enrollment in a clinical trial evaluating a candidate compound targeting a novel cardiovascular biomarker.
The project objective was to identify which candidate drug, among six in the customer’s clinical development pipeline, would offer the greatest long-term health outcomes and costs benefits.
